Hammers and nails: When you're a homophobe, everything looks like it's supporting homosexuality

The old saying goes, “When you’re a hammer, you think everything is a nail.” And when you’re anti-gay, apparently you think every thing with lots of colors is promoting homosexuality. Sunday’s Super Bowl 50 Halftime show closed with BeyoncĂ©, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, and the entire stadium audience sending the message: “Believe in Love.”…. [B]ecause the colors in the cards, as seen in this tweet Coldplay posted, might be considered “rainbow,” the anti-gay crowd on Twitter went nuts…. Friendly Atheist’s Hemant Mehta observes the anti-gay “complaints come from the same people who are watching a game in which dozens of men jump on top of each other for hours before dancing and patting each other on the butt.”

Erin and I watched Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show, appreciating it for the talent and musicality showcased during the extravaganza. OK, so it a long commercial for Coldplay’s new album, but given everything else about the game was commercialized (in some cases crassly so- et tu, Pizza Hut?) to the nth degree, the spectacle seemed in character with the rest of the festivities. It was fun, colorful, and well done…or at least so we thought. What we didn’t realize was that it was evidently a cleverly packaged endorsement for the Homosexual Agenda ©, and insidious use of music and color to convince America that Gay Is OK ©. How could this happen; what about our poor, impressionable snowflakes??

It all seemed pretty silly at first…and then it dawned on me. DUH…San Francisco was hosting Super Bowl 50. You probably know San Francisco as the international headquarters for the movement dedicated to turning our children gay, so OF COURSE it makes sense that that militant gays would be using their influence in whatever way they could to convince our precious, easily-influenced progeny that Gay is OK ©.

Why else would so many well-meaning heterosexuals be convinced that the performance led by Chris Martin, Bruno Mars, and BeyoncĂ© was NFL-endorsed propaganda extolling the virtues of homosexuality? Then again, I suppose if you’re a raging homophobe, everything’s promoting The Homosexual Agenda ©, eh?

If you’re a hammer….







For the vast majority of sane, rational people- those who don’t see homosexuals and The Homosexual Agenda © hiding around every corner and behind every chair- the halftime show was about music and entertainment. The colors Conservatives are claiming were some sort of (not so very) camouflaged message of support for all things gay? Those were all part of an elaborate and not so subtle promotion for Coldplay’s new album.

I find it fascinating that these proud heterosexual patriots were eagerly watching a game in which large men in tight pants jump on one another with frequency and fervor…yet they’re losing their $#!% over a halftime show. What’s next? Blaming the LGBT community for hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters? Man, who know that one minority class could possess so much power??

A very wise person once said, “‘Tis better to be thought a fool and a bigot than to go on Twitter, press ENTER, and remove all doubt.” Truer words have seldom been spoken.
