NFL quarterback Drew Brees, recently did a 15 second advertisement encouraging kids to bring their bible to school, and share their faith, and the LGBTQ community lost their mind.

Brees shared his favourite verse 2 Corinthians 5:7, and used it to encourage kids to boldly share their faith.

2 Corinthians 5:7 English Standard Version (ESV)

7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.

Apparently this ad was in association with Focus on the Family, in anticipation of October 4th, which is "Bring your Bible to school day". The ad was very clearly moderate, and by no means judgmental yet it spawned significant outrage.

I heard about this controversy through my daily YouTube diet, and so I have shared the link. In this video Amazing Lucas explains the controversy and gives his take.

"I think what all this boils down to, is that people are sick of this rhetoric. People are sick and tired of this is anti-G, or this is a 'hate group'... it all boils down from having a dissenting opinion, a dissenting opinion that the mainstream narrative doesn't bolster. And because of that you are seen as a 'phobe' or an 'ist', or hate-monger or whatever it is... people are sick and tired of be labeled for not agreeing..."

"There are certain groups that you can't criticize and those are the groups who have the power. How do you determine who has the power, how do you determine who controls you? You figure out real quick by who you can and can't criticize."
