conulyMe: Dean Cain also appears to have willingly participated in the God Is Not Dead franchise, so do I really want to click the link?
"If they had done this 20 years ago, perhaps that would be bold or brave," Cain said.
Me: Okay, so that's not that bad....
"But brave would be having him fight for the rights of gay people in Iran where they'll throw you off a building for the offense of being gay."
Me: Yup, there it is.
I gotta say, I was expecting a bit more homophobia instead of a surprise attack of... is this outright Islamophobia or is it just generalized geographical ignorance? Does he think this is just a thing Muslims do, or does he just not realize that Iran is not under the thumb of ISIS? (Does he realize at all that Iran and Iraq are different places?)
Still, like I said - he appears to have willingly participated in the God Is Not Dead franchise, and even if he is a super fundie you'd think he'd have more professional pride than that.
