    If he spoke out against Gaza and in support of Israel, would you still be against his cancellation?

    Because if you can’t honestly say that you are against this regardless of his stance- than you’re not here to debate the point-

    You’re just here to toss in your support for a cause.

    My entire point is about the concept of what is and isn’t not acceptable for hired entertainment to include in their performance.

      I’d be against him speaking against Gaza because I’m against genocide. How is this so hard to understand.

        Ahhh. So you’re down with protecting his right to protest, but only because it aligns with your ideology.

        Move along kid.

          Yup. Not all ideologies are equal. And not all are worth defending. Not sure where you got that idea.
