English soccer star warned by officials for writing 'I love Jesus' over Pride armband



Soccer player Marc Guéhi and his team received an official warning from league officials after he wrote a religious message on his arm band.

Guéhi is the captain for Crystal Palace, a team in England's top division, the Premier League. Each team has one player on the field wear a designated captain's armband, with teams all assigned a rainbow armband to show "support for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport" last weekend.

However, Guéhi, a devout Christian, decided to write "I love Jesus" on his armband. This prompted a warning from England's Football Association about wearing religious messages on a jersey.

'He's no child, he's an adult, he has his opinion and we respect it.'

According to ESPN, the FA's uniform rules state that "the appearance on, or incorporation in, any item of clothing ... any political or religious message" is forbidden and "disciplinary action may be taken" for any breach of the rules.

The rules also state that "for any offence the player and/or the team will be sanctioned by the competition organizer, national football association or by FIFA."

While Guéhi will avoid a fine, his Crystal Palace manager was quick to reaffirm that his team stands for "integration" not "discrimination."

"Everyone now is about integration, no discrimination and Marc as well," Oliver Glasner said. "We spoke about it. He's no child, he's an adult, he has his opinion, and we respect it."

Specific rules surrounding the armbands also exist, and the guidelines state players must "wear an armband, which is simple and conforms to the requirements ... relating to slogans, statements, images and advertising."

The rainbow armband campaign comes from Stonewall, a gay English charity that says it stands for "lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, questioning and ace (LGBTQ+) people everywhere."

While it is indeed odd that the sexuality-driven campaign is not considered political or religious, Guéhi was not the only player to take a stand during the set of weekend games.

Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy, a practicing Muslim, refused to wear the rainbow armband and instead wore a typical plain black version.

Shockingly for Morsy's decision, the FA claimed it was a club matter and did not issue a warning.

Ipswich Town still issued a groveling statement.

"Ipswich Town Football Club is committed to being a fully inclusive club that welcomes everyone."

"At the same time, we respect the decision of our captain Sam Morsy, who has chosen not to wear the rainbow captain's armband due to his religious beliefs," the team continued.

"We will continue to grow an environment where all are valued and respected, both on and off the pitch."

Classic game RuneScape removes gender options, replaces them with pronouns and 'body types'



A massively popular computer game has sparked confusion and outrage after it spontaneously added pronouns while removing gender options at the same time.

The game Old School RuneScape was launched in 2013 and was meant to maintain the 2007 version of the game. It is heralded as a classic by gaming fans and costs about $80 annually to play.

Peaking at 205,000 concurrent players as recently as November 2023, fans have rejoiced over how developers seek their opinion through polls then modify the game accordingly.

That is until recently when developers decided remove the option to choose male or female when creating a character in the game, and replaced it with "Body type A" and "Body type B."

'Body type A and body type B? Have you been living under a rock for the past decade?'

Furthermore, developers decided to add in pronoun selections, providing the options "He/him," "They/them," and "She/her."

"We didn’t vote on this!" a user said to the game's moderators on X. "I play RuneScape to escape from this bulls**t not to be forced to see it! This WILL cost you players... I'm debating on canceling my membership."

A moderator, who goes by the name Mod Ash and has over 140,000 followers on X, responded to the user and said he didn't expect players to see the text so often.

"Thanks for letting me know you no longer wish to play due to players having that text option. All the best with your future gaming," he added with a smiley face.

I wouldn't have expected you to see it very often unless you're switching up at the Makeover Mage really regularly, but thanks for letting me know you no longer wish to play due to players having that text option. All the best with your future gaming :)

'You poll this but not pronouns?'

Just hours before that moderator's response, a fan actually predicted that concerns about the change would be shrugged off by the RuneScape team:

"Body type A and body type B? Have you been living under a rock for the past decade? Gamers don't want this garbage," the irate user wrote. "Well I'm done: 18 years a player but I'm done," they continued.

"You're gonna say 'good riddance, no one forces you to play you fascist bigot.' but guess what: I don't think I'll be the only one. Good luck with this 'new and inclusive' direction you're going in."

More fans took issue with the fact that the inclusion of pronouns and removal of gender was not a topic that developers polled their customers about. This move by the game creators proved to be even more puzzling due to the fact that other polls are conducted for the most miniscule of details.

"You poll this but not pronouns?" one fan asked, attaching an image of a poll that asked ""Should the green pixel be removed from the Construction skill icon?"

Over 50,000 gamers responded to that particular pool showcasing just how responsive the fanbase is.

Another user who has an account that is over 8,200 days old (22 years) noted that he didn't think he would be renewing his membership due to the recent controversy.

"I'd been thinking about renewing my membership and playing OSRS again after taking a break for a year or so. I don't think I will be doing that any time soon."

Production company Jagex has a history of activism that has caused blowback in the past.

In 2017, a Pride update was widely mocked for its use of rainbows and has since become an infamous event in the game's history.

At the time, developers asked users in a poll whether they wanted a "gay pride event." Users overwhelmingly rejected the idea with 66% of the respondents saying "no." Over 20,000 people participated in that poll.

On its website, Jagex also gives an annual "gender pay gap report" that touts "the importance of a diverse workforce" and complains about the lack of "industry-wide female representation."

However, in its latest report, the company was only able to lower its own pay disparity by 0.1%.

The website reads, "In the report issued for 2022-2023, our expectations that our gender pay gap would decrease were met with a reduction in our Gender Pay Gap from 25.9% to 25.8%."

Trans agenda OBLITERATED when man exposes LGBTQ hypocrisy at NYC Pride



Lionel McGloin might just be a genius.

McGloin is known for his “man on the street” style interviews that expertly point out the hypocrisy of the interviewees — and his latest string of interviews at the New York City Pride Festival might just be his best yet.

In one clip, McGloin interviews a young woman clad in a little rainbow Pride-themed dress.

“All these beautiful trans women out here, tell us about your transition, how it went,” he says in a classic deadpan demeanor.

“Can I hold this please,” the woman says, frustrated and reaching for the mic. “I have a question for you. Why are you asking me those questions?”

“We’re interviewing like trans women and stuff like that,” he answers.

“I’m not a trans woman,” she responds angrily.

“We’re fully supportive, fully supportive,” he continues, refusing to back down. “We just want to like talk about like the transitions, like the various challenges we’ve had.”

“I’ve never transitioned because I was born a woman,” she says.

As McGloin continues to purposely misunderstand her, she gets increasingly frustrated — to the point that she says exactly what conservatives have been saying all along.

“You thought I was a man?” she asks, offended.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” couldn’t be more impressed with McGloin’s work.

“Oh, so you do think there’s a difference between men and women,” Rubin says, adding, “When someone thinks that you were a trans woman aka man, then it suddenly gets offensive.”

Content advisory: Footage captures disturbing child drag show in Dallas, Texas



June may be over, but we’re certainly not done talking about the nefarious ripple effects of Pride Month.

Two summers ago, Alex Stein busted an event hosted by Mr. Misster, a gay bar in Dallas, Texas, for exposing children to sexually explicit content.

To say the video footage is disturbing is an understatement. Viewer discretion is advised.

EXPOSING Disturbing Child Drag Show In Dallaswww.youtube.com

The footage captures several drag queens dancing erotically in front of a neon sign that reads, “It’s not gonna lick itself,” while taking money out of children’s hands. Some of the kids even got to strut the catwalk alongside the performers.

What’s even more disturbing is that several policemen were present at the event, and all of them were perfectly content to allow children to enter a bar where they would be exposed to sexually explicit content.

At least none of them got away without facing some of Alex’s infamous trolling. Check it out for yourself in the clip above.

Infant dies after being left in car 'for hours'; Daily Mail gushes about her 2 adoptive dads



A baby girl in California died after she was left inside a car "for hours." Despite the tragic circumstances of the girl's untimely death, the Daily Mail, which published the exclusive report about it, showered praise on the gay couple who adopted her.

Romer and Jayson De Los Santos are two men from the San Diego area who became legal partners in 2008, just a few months before Proposition 8 passed overwhelmingly and banned same-sex marriage in California until the 2013 Obergefell SCOTUS ruling.

'Romer is an avid gardener and grows fruit, vegetables, bonsai trees, and flowers in the backyard and Jayson looks after the animals and collects eggs from the chickens.'

Within the last couple of years, the men first adopted a boy. Last November, they filled out a profile on an adoption site, expressing their desire for a baby. "Our hearts and home are open to providing more love to another amazing child," Romer and Jayson wrote in the profile.

Their wish was granted just a short five months later when little Diana Sofia was born in Arizona on April 11. The De Los Santoses flew out to Arizona and adopted Diana shortly thereafter.

Sadly, barely two months later, little Diana was dead. Just before 12:30 a.m. on June 13, she was found unresponsive inside the De Los Santoses' SUV parked outside their home. Paramedics arrived within minutes and raced Diana to Sharp Grossmont Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Though outdoor temperatures at the time were just 63 degrees Fahrenheit, the interior of a car can reach temperatures as high as 115 degrees even when it is just 70 degrees outside, the Daily Mail reported. Plus, the body temperature of children rises at significantly higher rates than that of adults.

It is unclear who left Diana in the car and for how long, though investigators believe she had been in the car "for hours." No charges have been filed in the case, which remains under investigation. A cause of death has not yet officially been determined.

"Never leave your child alone in a car even for a second to dash into a store or to run a quick errand," police said, according to the outlet. "Summer routines can shift unexpectedly. Even the best parents can forget a quiet or sleeping child is in the backseat of a car."

Though stopping short of calling the De Los Santoses "the best parents," one neighbor did indicate to the Daily Mail that they did seem to care about their children. "They seem like a nice family who wanted to give a couple of kids a good life, it's just a shame it didn't turn out that way," the neighbor said.

The Daily Mail certainly seems to view the De Los Santoses as good parents. The outlet fawned over the "adorable photos" the men had posted on social media, showing them "cradling" Diana and introducing her to her brother.

"Romer is an avid gardener and grows fruit, vegetables, bonsai trees, and flowers in the backyard and Jayson looks after the animals and collects eggs from the chickens," the outlet shared in the article about their deceased daughter.

"Romer explained [he and Jayson] both came from big families that often had dinners and parties and went on holiday together," the article added.

The Daily Mail also claimed that the De Los Santoses have so many animals living in their three-bedroom home that it is "basically a zoo." They even provide temporary homes for foster animals.

Jayson, who has purple hair in several photos, is described in the Daily Mail article as a "stay-at-home dad."

Despite the glowing account from the Daily Mail, the Publica reported that the speed at which the De Los Santoses had been able to adopt Diana "has raised concerns." The Publica noted that newborns are in high demand for prospective adoptive parents, who often have to wait a year or more before adopting a baby.

The Publica also reported that Romer is a former LGBT activist in the area. More than 15 years ago, he began volunteering with San Diego LGBT Pride and eventually rose in the ranks to become co-chair, a position he held for three years. During that time, he bragged that he "doubled the size of the Board of Directors within a year and improved its diversity in age, race, gender, and gender identity," the Publica reported.
