Another Ally Cones Out Of The Closet

Sometimes when an ally steps up to defend us it is a big surprise, such was the case this month…
Dick Van Dyke has perfect response to Piers Morgan ‘gender fluid’ tantrum

92-year-old Mary Poppins Returns actor Dick Van Dyke has quietly shut down Piers Morgan after the host’s latest swipe at gender fluid people.

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has made an increasingly-bizarre series of digs at gender fluid people, frequently bringing the subject up on TV, in newspaper columns and on Twitter.

But the TV host’s obsession backfired on him when he posted a tweet on the subject referencing Dick Van Dyke, who recently reprised one of his most iconic roles for Mary Poppins Returns.

Piers Morgan wrote on Twitter: “Imagine being called Dick Van Dyke in this PC-crazed era? Poor guy. He’ll have to change his name to Richard Van Non-Binary-Gender-Fluid.”
The comment didn’t sit well with Mr. Van Dyke…
The actor, who was born 78 years before the full decriminalisation of homosexuality in the United States, told NOH8 of his reasons for opposing homophobia: “Hate eats up your insides.”
[…]
“There’s nothing in there about the rest of it, casting judgement on them or administering the punishment. That’s God’s job… I think, really, she’s got it wrong. She’s not supposed to administer the punishment.”

He added: “Some people never change their mind through their whole lives, about anything, despite new information that comes in.

“And now that we know that homosexuality is not a choice, it’s biological, I think we have to love and understand them.”
We have so many allies way more than the haters but the haters are vocal and the press loves controversy, it sells ads. But remember one thing… 67% of the voters voted for us in Massachusetts.

Allies have our backs.
