We all knew there’d be backlash to Jason Collins coming out while he’s still in the NBA, but we would hope that adult human beings who disagree with his sexuality would be adult human beings enough to not threaten to kill him over something that has ZERO EFFECT ON THEM. Or threaten to kill anyone at all for any reason, for that matter!
It’s 2013, let’s act like the rational and advanced society that we’ve become!
Here are a few things said on Twitter:
– “Yous a dead f****t talkn on tv Boy.”
– “Listening to Jason Collins describe his gayness as ‘beautiful’ makes me wanna puke. And kill him.”
– “Jason collins comes out the closet! Kill that biiitttchhhh!!!”
– “First jason collins say he gay.. Now he on espn w lipgloss on kill him now !!!”
– “Jason Collins should get the death penalty lol how u a 7 foot gay dude lol the west is crazy smh”
Gay people just want to love each other and be treated with respect… you guys want to murder innocent people, and THEY’RE the sinners?? We’re wondering how they even figured out how to even set up a Twitter account! LOLz!
Just ignore the haters, Jason! What you’re doing his historical and courageous!
What’s they’re doing is stupid.
