Antigay viewers were quick to take to social media last night to decry Sunday’s Super Bowl 50 Halftime show, which wrapped up with gutsy performances by Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Coldplay singing “Believe in Love.”
Apparently it was all the bright lights and rainbow colors… which equals gay? Who knows what they’re all so angry about?
Nothing against being gay, but can I please watch the Super Bowl half time show and not have to it be all about promoting homosexuality

I believe the message of that halftime show was "quickly, become a homosexual"

Just because the super bowl is held near San Francisco doesn't mean we need to make it a homosexual congregation

So sad that Super Bowl halftime shows the last couple of years has really pushed homosexual agenda. God please forgive our nation.

All the Halftime performance did was try to promote homosexuality.

Basically a homo pride celebration during halftime….. And that's one reason our country has gone down

As The New Civil Rights Movement points out, the bright lights and swirling rainbow colors were simply promoting Coldplay’s new album:

Friendly Atheist’s Hemant Mehta noted that the anti-gay “complaints come from the same people who are watching a game in which dozens of men jump on top of each other for hours before dancing and patting each other on the butt.”
