I don't rub people's noses in my lifestyle or politics (as I said, unless specifically asked). And I expect the same courtesy from others, which I do get from others most of the time--the only time I don't tends to be from maniacal woke leftists.

I did have a Norwegian flag in the back window of my car some years ago. I scraped it off because some dimwit in the area accused a guy flying a Norwegian flag in his yard of flying a Confederate flag. I didn't want my car vandalized.
I can see some idiot complaining about a Swiss flag, since Switzerland is a confederation, but Norway? That's just ignorant.

You are ignoring the question.

If a hockey player attacked the NFL for only having football games, what is your response?

That the NFL needs to represent hockey players because they are a minority.

There are lots of other people out there who enjoy romances too. Why leave them out? As for Candace, her hypocrisy is really offensive to a lot of people and they let her know it.
I thought Hallmark was for making broke small town plaid shirt wearing guys feel like they have a real chance to steal girls from rich urban suit wearing guys?

Why shoud LGQTB speak for society, and rules in our schools. Maybe it is time the gay community have their own bathrooms and locker rooms, and read books, we would rather our children not see. Most of us are tired of having LGQTBXYZ forced down our throats.
So, you would be OK with LGBTQ people being forced back underground, beaten up for no reason by homophobic idiots, and generally treated like second class citizens? If there had been more tolerance in the past, the outcry wouldn't be as loud now.

Everything you say sounds exactly like the language used to justify treating Blacks and other minorities badly.

Corporations try to maximize revenue, it's what the do.
It's already done. Hallmark has LBGTQ movies now.

And as a response to the attack on Christian based programming, another network was created. One of the higher ups at Hallmark, left Hallmark and started the new channel.

But the win wasn't enough for the LGBTQ, who successful changed an entire network.

They moved on ... and LGBTQ went after the NEW network also. Publicly attacking Candace Cameron Burre. Why? They got what they wanted from Hallmark. Celebrate the victory and call it a day. Nope.

LGBTQ is on the ATTACK. They are going after networks that already have a specific audience and demanding that the network change their programming/marketing/scripts/actors/etc.

Why are they trying to control all entertainment that is not targeted at them?

It's like going to a Chinese restaurant and demanding that they start serving pizza. They don't serve pizza, they serve Chinese food. If you want Chinese food, you go there. Because they want to provide Chinese food to people who want Chinese food.

If you don't want Chinese food, you go somewhere else.

The question you present is so insanely preposterous that any rational sane person is wondering how to even begin. I am sure if you are a hockey player and had the talent to do so you could play in the NFL.

The question is whether minorities should have representation. That is, of course, a matter of opinion. You've made yours clear.

Where is the month of PRIDE?

Which major city has a PRIDE FEST for left handed people?

Also, how do I know which bakeries and florists cater to left handed people? Do they have a sticker to put in the window to signal their support of left handed people?
Schools used to beat the left handedness out of students.

I am not Chinese food nor am I a breakfast taco. A restaurant can serve what they want, it's a problem if you deny service to certain groups. I haven't encountered too many places that have problems with people coming in demanding cuisine they don't have.
