A Lot Of People Are Angry Thinking The Super Bowl Halftime Show Was 'Promoting Homosexuality'

[Behind the Aegis]

A lot of people took to social media to complain the Super Bowl Halftime show was an attempt to advance the gay agenda, or something.

The old saying goes, "When you're a hammer, you think everything is a nail." And when you're anti-gay, apparently you think every thing with lots of colors is promoting homosexuality.

Sunday's Super Bowl 50 Halftime show closed with Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, and the entire stadium audience sending the message: "Believe in Love."

1. Stupid people.

2. Believe in War would suit them better

8. Well,that's what the rest of the Super Bowl is all about...

It even starts with a strafing run over the stadium.

From the fighter jets soaring overhead to the armed troops patrolling Levi Stadium, Super Bowl 50 was a highly militarized event, its 70,000 spectators and millions of television viewers subject to a showcase of war propaganda and heavy security crackdown.

To much fanfare, the Armed Forces Chorus, comprised of 50 men and women from the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and Air Force, kicked off the massive sports event by singing “America the Beautiful” from the field. CBS’ broadcast of the song cut away to footage of uniformed troops standing at attention, with text on the screen reading, “United States Forces Afghanistan.” The clip was a nod to a brutal war and occupation, now stretching into its 15th year, as top generals press for an even slower withdrawal.

Following the national anthem, the U.S. Navy flew its signature Blue Angels Delta formation over the cheering stadium, located in Santa Clara, Calif. The Navy is open about the propaganda purposes of such flights, stating in a press release they are intended to demonstrate “pride” in the military. In a country that dropped 23,144 bombs on Muslim-majority countries in 2015 alone, the war planes are not just symbolic.

The heavy-handed display follows revelations that some NFL teams have long been accepting payment from the Department of Defense to honor and celebrate the military and its service members.

3. I think promoting the gay is a good idea

I don't see a problem loving gay people. My niece came out a couple of weeks ago, well she didn't come out, she bought her 1st girlfriend home and told her parents this is my girlfriend, we're dating, like any 15 year old does with their 1st puppy love. It's not really caming out when there's nothing to come out of.

4. let me guess - the colors of the rainbow

were so obvious .... anti gay parents have banned rainbows from anywhere near their children.

[Ilsa]

6. The audience in the stafium participated.

I guess they were all gay, or, wait, it was just about beuatiful colors, love, and Valentine's Day.

7. It Never Ceases To Amaze Me........

..........how little most people on this planet will allow themselves to be entertained by.

9. Sad little souls

That halftime show was badass.

By the way, check out the uptown funk dance video on u tube! Wow!

10. Best response, LMFAO:

From the linked story:

Friendly Atheist's Hemant Mehta observes the anti-gay "complaints come from the same people who are watching a game in which dozens of men jump on top of each other for hours before dancing and patting each other on the butt."

[Initech]

25. Ha!!! That is hilarious!

[arcane1]

27. Right? "Stop this gay shit and get back to the muscular ass-slapping!!!1"

[DetlefK]

11. "Happy Feet", an animated movie about tap-dancing penguins, is also homosexual propaganda.

Why?

Because the movie has the message that it's okay to be different and that it doesn't matter.

[begin_within]

12. Well, there was that rainbow flag handed to Chris Martin by an audience member

to wipe his face with. It would have to have been an astute viewer to notice that one.

[KentuckyWoman]

13. Watching Beyonce will turn you gay.

Pretty sure that's already a scientific fact so I don't know what the born agains are upset about. Besides which football itself is nothing but a bunch of men hugging and laying on the ground together. If that's not full of the teh gay I don't know what is.

These people should have known better and opted to spend 4 hours in their prayer closet hugging their Bible and prayer for us gay loving sinners instead of plopped in front of the Devil's broadcast.

21. Turned _me_ into a newt. nt

14. Homophobes and racists are attacking it on multiple levels

“This is football, not Hollywood — and I thought it was really outrageous that used it as a platform to attack police officers, who are the people who protect her, and protect us, and keep us alive,” Giuliani said on Monday.

15. Two of my friends advanced The Gay Agenda this weekend, in fact

They painted their living room, and I believe they took their dog to one of those pet grooming facilities, and one of them fixed their neighbor's mailbox.

Clearly we must keep vigilant against this relentless onslaught of gayfulness.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

16. It was the big rainbow card stunt combined with the proximity to San Francisco

As an aside: Cal Berkeley did an awesome job with the card stunt, and the band on the field at the halftime show was the Cal Band in costume.

Giuliani is outraged that Beyoncé's BLM salute was an outrageous attack on police everywhere. Some people are looking for excuses to be outraged.

[Person 2713]

19. Reminded him of his violent police force when mayor. He should be outraged at that NY history

[ProfessorGAC]

17. A Young, Fit Woman. . .

. . .showing nearly all her legs and cleavage makes one gay? That makes no sense at all.

[Grassy Knoll]

18. These Are The Same People......

With VCR's Blinking 12:00....12:00...12:00

[newfie11]

20. HUH!

News to me!

[whatthehey]

22. OK

So something was promoting homosexuality at a football game which distracted from the real purpose of close ups of heavily muscled gym-ripped young men in skin tight pants grabbing hold of each other? Got it.

[qwlauren35]

23. Please break it down for me. What were the problems with the half-time show?

Did the colors automatically symbolize something? I thought they were pretty.

Did Beyoncé's costume mean anything?

Was the selection of entertainers a problem?

Please tell me because I don't get it.

[KamaAina]

24. Because, after all, there is absolutely nothing gay about football

QBs putting their hands under the center's butt, guys patting each other on the butt after a TD, a bunch of guys showering together in the locker room... oh, wait a minute...

[Eleanors38]

33. ...and always making passes.

[NowSam]

26. So what

love who you want.

[valerief]

28. For decades, I've heard of the gay agenda, but I've yet to see a copy of it!

[justiceischeap]

30. Here ya go.

[valerief]

32. What do these Republicans have against milk?

[justiceischeap]

34. I think it's because sometimes we switch it up and

buy bread.

[LiberalArkie]

29. You know kids always rebel from their parents commands so if the parents would stop harping about

gay sex in church the kids would not rebel and become gay. Right, it only makes sense.

[Eleanors38]

31. No, just vast quantities of crappy animal metaphors & cheesy spoof.

Oh wait! Those were the ads. Great fireworks! But I'm EZ.
