"But when someone hands back an award because the same awards team ensured Court had her current gong upgraded to Australia's highest you call it is wrong and a form of bigotry".

No I call it grandstanding. The peanut has been a grandstander all his life, & now he has lost his platform is looking for anything he can find to try to get it back.

A total peanut, not worth bothering with.

1. Margaret Court was one of the greatest champions of tennis ever, with records which are still outstanding.

2. Margaret Court has her own strong views on same-sex marriage, and we're all entitled to our own points of view.

3. She has had the awards conferred on her for her tennis record, not for her opinions. Nobody should get such awards merely for their opinions - or, conversely, get knocked back because of their opinions.

Fair enough. Move on.

Joe

Christians will say they love homosexuals in some weird twisted way,
because they consider homosexuals God's children too.
But lets be honest here can we?

Christians disdain and detest homosexuals.
It's part of their religious DNA, but Christians don't actually want to kill the homosexuals.
The bible probably says somewhere that homosexuals should be put to death,
but it also says they shouldn't kill.

It's all just a big can of worms.

Based on your Oxford English Dictionary definition, they're both bigots and they're both intolerant.

- Welcome to 2021, The Year of the Brainfart -

I reckon Margaret should go over the top with it.
Pay an extra 50k to have her own marching band and entourage
Also she could play the theme song from Rocky 'Gunna Fly Now'
http://youtu.be/AxWejrVYcCg
And the theme song from Karate Kid 'You're the Best'
- And just like rub it in everyone's faces -

Other than that kinda sick of hearing about it.
I don't care about tennis or gay rights much.

Am I a bigot for saying that?
Maybe I'm a tennis bigot.
