So one has to be more "careful" NOW in publicly expressing or defending ones Catholic/Christian beliefs for fear of offending same-sex marriage advocates and the LGBT community in general?! Check this out.....
Yoel Romero, who defeated Lyoto Machida at UFC Fight Night 70 via knockout, made some unusual comments just days after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states.
“Hey UFC! Hey Miami! Hey Florida!,” the Cuban born fighter said, riling up the crowd at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. Then the interview took an unexpected turn.
“What happened to you, USA? Wake up, USA! Go! Go back for you, go! Go for Jesus. No for gay Jesus people." This apparently has something to do with recent social media photos of gay men kissing while dressed as Jesus in celebration of the controversial Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage which outraged Christian groups.
Fox Sports tweeted and quickly deleted a video of the speech with the accompanying message: "Yoel Romero beats Machida and then proceeds to scold the United States for believing that #LoveAlwaysWins".Twitter users quickly reacted, with some supporting Romero and some in disagreement.
At the post-fight press conference, Romero claimed that he was misunderstood because of his accent and intended to say "don't forget Jesus."......I don't think so...but the violent reaction against what he said says a lot about how the world has come to lately......
