Anthony Bass who plays as a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays shared a post on Instagram to his 34,000 followers and the post went viral – something he did not except to happen. Bass decided to share a post that went after the LGBTQ community.
What Upset The LGBTQ Community?
Many Christians on social media have recently lashed out at brands like Bud Light and Target for running LGBTQ ads and promotions. One such account on Instagram made a video warning Christians to stay away from brands like Bud Light and Target because they supported the LGBTQ community.
The video encouraged Christians to not do business and give their money to such brands as the bible did not endorse the LGBTQ community. Bass went on to share this video and this triggered the LGBTQ community as they felt he was causing anti-LGBTQ sentiment.
The Toronto Blue Jays were put under pressure to take Bass to task for his comments, with some users called for the Blue Jays to transfer or cut Bass. The pressure forced Anthony Bass to issue an apology to the Blue Jays and the LGBTQ community for his comments. Bass will now get help to make better decisions and not anger the LGBTQ community.
