Given the opportunity to play for the U.S. women’s national soccer team, when Jaelene Hinkle learned that the game jerseys would be promoting gay pride, she felt she had no choice but to decline, and remain true to her Christian faith ~

Activists automatically label any opposition to LGBTQ agenda “hate,” but clearly that is the last thing motivating Hinkle.
“There’s no logical reason that women’s sports should be an especially uncomfortable place for someone with traditionalist views about homosexuality,” Kevin Williamson wrote in Hinkle’s defense for The Weekly Standard. “But the kulturkampf brigades will have only conformity, abject and absolute. That is part of the doctrine of ‘inclusion,’ which, perversely enough, exists for the purpose of excluding certain people with unpopular political or religious opinions.”
It’s fitting that Hinkle plays for the North Carolina Courage in the National Women’s Soccer League. Jaelene courageously chose not to conform to today’s secular progressive orthodoxy – enthusiastic affirmation of the LGBTQ agenda – choosing instead obedience to God ~
“If I never get a national team call-up again…that just is part of His plan and that’s okay,” said Hinkle. “And maybe this was why [I was] meant to play soccer. Just to show other believers to be obedient.”
