June was Pride Month for the LGBTQ community and it included celebrations and promotional nights throughout the sports world. But it’s safe to say one former NBA star was not celebrating.
During a recent interview with Vlad TV, three-time NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas blasted the LGBTQ community, calling it “the most unfair group walking the planet,” claiming that the group holds people accountable for things that people have know way of knowing are wrong.
“I think it’s the most unfair group walking the planet right now. They have a playbook that only they’re playing by. No one else gets to see this playbook, but we’re being judged by everything that’s in this playbook,” Arenas said according to Fox News. “But we don’t know it. So, there’s no open dialogue about what is appropriate and what’s not. We only find out after we [mess] up. That’s unfair. That’s [freaking] unfair. You can’t do that. How do I know something’s wrong until you give it to me?”
Arenas was then asked to give an example, and he brought up preferred pronouns.
“Just words, phrases. Like he, she, it, they. … How do we know? You’re making it up as we go,” Arenas claimed. “There’s not like there’s this [freaking] dictionary of updates, and we can sit there, click it and say, ‘All right I can’t say … they took this out. They added this in.’ We’re just learning, right? That’s really unfair that you can cancel somebody on a playbook that only you have.”
