If it wasn't for the thread title... I would have assumed Barkley was about to take a wrong turn with the way he started that loll

This is such a mildly cold take in current year. People... if you are going to give crap to people because of their gender, race, sexuality, or etc, you are a piece of crap. People, if you are a trash human and you get called out for being a trash human, it isn't because of your gender, race, sexuality, or etc, it is because you are a trash human (I'm looking at you Ezra Miller).

His high profile advocacy of gay rights goes back to at least 2006, so it’s nothing new. He gave a voice before it was hugely popular to do so. Without this background info, it might seem he is just another celeb who has boarded the woke train for Insta-likes, which can be cringe-worthy.

thats cool cause like you say that statement is not really that out there. I also respect Chuck because awhile back he admitted that there are things he use to say that he now knows were wrong and would get him in trouble today. Many people are quick to judge and act as if they have lived their entire life like they were born in 2022.

A more divisive thing to say is its ok to be "insert political party"....depending on the state your in.

^ Bring that same defense to Christians, posters...but you won't.

That's the double standard.

I'm all for loving everyone...

So stop making fun of Christians in the other thread (Dwight Howard thread) and saying God is a fairy tale, etc.

Because one can easily say the idea that you can be whatever gender you want to be is a fairy tale.

Show your tolerance and "love" to everyone...

The irony is that you'll give "love" to certain groups and then make fun of others.

Lol - I was there that night. Missed this comment though.

Sort of a strange comment I would say? I mean, who does this apply to anymore that would ever change their mind on the stance if they haven't already? Whoever they are, are definitely the massive minority.

I'll do that when religious people stop believing that LGBT people go to hell.
