Tennis legend and now full-time homophobe Margaret Court said last week that “tennis is full of lesbians.” Another tennis legend, John McEnroe, fired back:
“Margaret Court is telling us, ‘Tennis is full of lesbians,’” McEnroe said in a video. “The way I see it, there are three options regarding this statement. Number one ― this is true, and who gives a fuck? Number two ― this is not true, and who should give a fuck? And number three ― this is half-true, and should we really give a fuck?”
Court is against same-sex marriage, same-sex parents and has equated LGBT people with Hitler and the devil. Some players want the Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne where the Australian Open is played renamed, but McEnroe is not ready to go that far. He has his own idea:
“When same-sex marriage becomes legal in Australia, I will personally call my good friend Elton John to host the biggest same-sex mass wedding ceremony ever seen — in Margaret Court Arena. Margaret, that’s just the kind of guy I am.”
McEnroe begins his video with clear support for same-sex marriage and he gets rolling from there. It’s quite well done:
