The Premier League changed their Facebook profile picture to the Premier League logo with the LGBT flag.

Great move, I thought.
And, unexpectedly, it got a lot of negative comments. People asking to "keep politics out of football", and "keep LGBT rubbish out of football" and comments of that nature. People who seem to think basic human rights is politics, or a matter of the page admin's opinion, that it's being forced down their throats.
Like this:

“Keep this lgbt rubbish out of football”
Let's rephrase that, shall we?
Let's keep basic human rights out of football. Remember black players getting bananas thrown at them? We should've told them to suck it up and get on with it. John Barnes should've learnt to live with it instead of forcing his right to live and play football down our throats.
That's how stupid you* sound when you say to keep LGBT rubbish out of football. It's about basic human rights. It's not some movement, it's not an opinion, it's not a choice.
*you being the people with this view, of course, not anyone here (unless they agree with it).
This was my favourite comment:

“Will there be support for straight people??? Disgusting pfff”
I wasn't a big fan of the Premier League's new logo, but this I like. If it upsets and offends people with backward views, or people who hide behind a book that they've probably never read, then that's their problem.
