When Hinkle refused to display support the Gay Pride agenda, she was judging her self ... could she "witness" for life-principles that violated her Faith? She felt in her nervous system that this would be a sickening feeling to "witness" for Gay Pride? In truth, the gay members of the team could not allow Hinkle to be true to her upbringing. If her Christian choice kept her off the team, denied her her dream to play in the World Cup, then she was persecuted for her beliefs. (Consider if a player was cut because of her homosexual beliefs?) There has never been a sport that demanded gay players to "brag" that they support people who choose the heterosexual lifestyle ??
Hinkle did nothing that punished her gay team members. They got to live their beliefs, even broadcast them as if they were the broad majority - that's unfettered expression unto promotion. Unlike Hinkle, they were given full access to their dream. Many times now-a-days the PC tsunami-wave drowns various individual rights that ethically, morally should be allowed to co-exist... co-exist. I'm just saying what we all can see unfolding in reality. These progressive activists do not want to co-exist with traditional values. They want traditional values to be harassed unto disuse, even disparagement. They make battlegrounds for going for all out victory, for all out defeat of any countering thinking.... And essentially, they win.
Think on this: 4.5% of the population in anonymous polls identify as LGBTQ and 75% identify Christian. Think about Christian revival meetings, Christian music festivals where Christians proudly fill stadiums, coliseums. What if all those Christian people made the same trespassing, PC-intimidating assertions against Gay Pride. See the fair tolerance difference?
