NFL player with gay mother says God “didn’t create us to be gay”

Longtime Dallas Cowboy wide receiver Dez Bryant weighed in on the ginned-up Olympic boxing controversy battering the sport when he declared last week that “God didn’t put you in a foreign body” and “Men shouldn’t be able to compete in women divisions.”

We also learned from Bryant that God “didn’t create us to be gay.”

“Everyone in Taiwan hates JK Rowling now” for claiming their Olympic boxer is trans

Fans of Lin Yu Ting, including a former president, are defending Taiwan boxer Lin Yu Ting’s honor against the “Harry Potter” author.

The claims came as the Paris Olympics boxing competition has been roiled by false allegations that Imane Khelif of Algeria and Taiwan’s Lin Yu Ting are both men – or trans women, depending on who is sharing the rumor – competing in the women’s event. The two were assigned female at birth, identify as women, and have competed as women for years without issue until last year.

Bryant, a prolific X user, fell for the false assertion from the discredited, Russian-led International Boxing Association (IBA) that the two women boxers are men.

The group cited undisclosed genetic testing last year, and this year the head of the IBA said on the social media platform Telegram that Khelif had XY chromosomes.

Outsports noted that the IBA appears aligned with Russia’s anti-LGBTQ+ policies, with the head of IBA last week saying that IOC head Thomas Bach was among the IOC’s “chief sodomites.”

Bryant joins JK Rowling, fifth-place college swimmer Riley Gaines, rightwing podcaster Joe Rogan, and other attention-seeking anti-trans influencers in buying the culture war provocation, which fits neatly into their intolerant brand.

“God made you a woman for a reason. God made you a man for a reason. God didn’t put you in a foreign body. Also, men shouldn’t be able to compete in women divisions,” Bryant posted on X, where he has over three million followers.

My opinion

— Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) August 1, 2024

Those opinions opened Bryant up to praise among fans and plenty of criticism, which only amped the one-time Oklahoma State All-American.

“Being hated haven’t felt this good in a long time!” Bryant gushed as the comments kept coming.

“God made you a piece of s**t,” read one, to which Bryant replied, “I guess 🤓.”

The former Cowboy, 35, took the Olympic opportunity to ruminate on his Christian worldview in several succeeding posts.

X users learned from Bryant that “God created a lot of beautiful things” but “he didn’t create us to be gay.”

Bryant’s “mama gay/and she’s free to do as she please.”

And “God didn’t make Adam to be with another Adam 😂”; men and women “both have certain parts for a reason.”

Men trying to get pregnant, added Bryant, is “not what’s up.”

For all the judging, Bryant wrote without irony, “I’m different and I’ve embraced it a long time ago!”

“I don’t have problems with gays,” the footballer added, spinning heads. “Just my beliefs.”

One X user, neatly summarizing Bryant’s contradictory, days-long ramble, posted, “Dez struggles to comprehend the vast diversity of God’s creativity.”
