Actor Michael Imperioli says he has banned “bigots and homophobes” from watching The Sopranos and other shows and movies he has starred in following the Supreme Court’s decision that a Christian graphic artist can refuse to work with same-sex couples.
Imperioli, 57, shared a screenshot of a news story about the ruling on Instagram, with the headline “Supreme Court protects web designer who won’t do gay wedding websites.”
The actor, known for his role portraying Christopher Moltisanti in the HBO drama, slammed the court’s decision in his caption, writing that he had “decided to forbid bigots and homophobes from watching The Sopranos, The White Lotus, Goodfellas or any movie or TV show I’ve been in.”
He added: “Thank you Supreme Court for allowing me to discriminate and exclude those who I don’t agree with and am opposed to. USA ! USA!”
Responding to comments on his post, Imperioli wrote that “hate and ignorance is not a legitimate point of view” and “America is becoming dumber by the minute.”
Exactly. “phobic” means afraid of something. What they actually mean is that people who have some issue with homosexuals are secretly afraid that they’re homosexual themselves. When you realize that then “transphobic” makes even less sense as a word.
I might be “snake-phobic” but I have no fear that i might start slithering around on the ground.
No, phobic means they are afraid of them. Ie you have a fear gays or trans people going to damage society or your life. That’s a phobia. What you were referring too is internalized homophobia, when someone knows they are gay and are afraid to admit it so they suck random guys off and hate themselves while running as a republican and passing anti gay legislation.
It’s not a phobia. An actual phobia is a fear you know isn’t even rational but your body does it and you can’t stop it. This applies to literally none of this. Gay/Trans are just annoying because they claim to want equality but what they want is to be a star.
You want equality? Here is equality: if I don’t know you I don’t care about you or what happens to you, so just STFU. I’m not going to knock on your door an ask if gay/trans/whatever. Don’t make me constantly hear about it. Just melt into the other billions of don’t know/don’t care.
