I fear I might be triggered by the Olympics. (parade, Ohio, work)

Pence can say what he wants about LGBTQ folks. And we can say what we want about what Pence says.
I like the first amendment, I think it's a GREAT thing. Not sucky at all. I'm sorry you are having such trouble with it.
I m good with you saying what you want. I am not good with one side saying someone they don't like cant participate because they don't like what the other guy said.
We didn't have to wait long for the politics to spoil the Team USA victories. Rippon had to open his mouth and 'rip' the Trump Administration as being "homophobic," and for that reason he has said he will skip the White House reception in protest.
Dishonoring his country and our President in that way at a world event like the Olympics should be cause to have his medal revoked. He doesn't deserve it.
So disgusted!
Still wondering on what basis he calls the Administration, "homophobic?"
I really wish our country could separate sports and politics, though I know that will never change.
Sports are supposed to be fun. Football, Olympics, etc., they're supposed to be an escape from the stresses and worries of every day life. I'd like to just sit down, turn my brain off, and enjoy some bobsledding.
I do not want to be lectured on politics by a privileged liberal like Lindsey Vonn.

Oh but I'm sure you wouldn't mind being lectured by a privileged conservative.

No. I don't want any political demonstrations during my entertainment time. Even if I do agree with what they are saying, I still don't want to hear it. So, once again, you are wrong.

Are you neutralparty? Let's face it: if a conservative athlete, musician, actor, whatever speaks out against a dem administration, the cons go wild in support. When a dem athlete, musician, actor, whatever speaks out against a con administration, the cons get hysterical, claiming these people are entitled brats & they don't want to hear about it. It's called hypocrisy.

Thank you.
And for the record, the opening sentence of my post clearly states that I would prefer politics out of sports, period. I don't care which side you're on. Both the football players who kneel, as well as the outspoken people who criticize them can all go suck an egg. Leave your political crap out of sports.
