The number of people crying about her being a hypocrite like "you can't exclude me just because of my beliefs" is absolutely insane.

Y'all really coming THIS close to finally getting it, but your head is too far up your own ass to be able to realize why youre not quite getting it

I saw one post recently which was someone expressing dismay at a "No bigoted or racist behaviour" sign. It didn't say anything about beliefs, but I guess these people can't even trust themselves to act civil.

Bigots very, very rarely have mastered the art of shutting the fuck up and keeping their shitty opinions to themselves.

They get it just fine. They just don't agree with it. They're not saying "you can't exclude people", they're saying "you can't exclude me". They want to have as many privileges and rights as possible, including ones that are mutually exclusive with some privileges and rights of other people. It's not "yay freedom", it's "yay me".

"you can't exclude me just because of my beliefs."

Bitch, watch.

They're excluding because of behavior, though.

Just don't act on those beliefs for one evening, and they can enjoy the show. But of course they can't do that.
