As we told you on Sunday, U.S. soccer star Kelley O’Hara rescued an American Flag that had fallen to the ground after a teammate dropped it during the victory celebration. ICYMI, here’s the video again:

But to the website Queerty, Trump fans were allegedly outraged after O’Hara then ran over to kiss her girlfriend in the stands and this somehow ruined her flag heroics:

Um, no. The ratio on this tweet is incredible with most of the responses echoing this below:
She picked up the flag after her team mates threw it on the ground. Trump fans think she loves her country and was respectful in victory.
She's a good American, we're proud of her.

And stop trying to invent grievances:
And didn't care
Nice attempt to invent a grievance https://t.co/nLzYaUiXag— Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) July 10, 2019
Queerty is really trying to ruin a nice moment, which is just awful:
What's wrong with them kissing?

While you're trying to dunk on conservatives maybe remember to not to act like being gay is a problem.

It's a super sweet picture, btw.
Sort of thing that would help Americans come together if we didn't have horrible people like you fighting for division and strife 24/7.

Even worse? Queerty did not print a single example of a Trump supporter having a problem with the kiss. Not a one. Here’s the entire article below just in case they try a stealth edit:
Republican pundits eager to praise Women’s World Cup soccer star Kelley O’Hara received a rude awakening when cameras caught her smooching her girlfriend in the stands.
Following the big win by the American team at the World Cup Finals, O’Hara received praise for picking up an American flag which had accidentally fallen to the field. Fox News’ Walid Phares called O’Hara a “new American heroine.” The network even ran a story on O’Hara’s teammates Megan Rapinoe and Allie Long dropping and accidentally stepping on the flag. Rapinoe, in particular, has hotly criticized Donald Trump’s anti-LGBTQ policies.
As the far right singled out O’Hara for praise, few pundits noticed that after picking up the flag, she rushed across the field to her girlfriend and locked lips. That makes her the 42nd identifiable LGBTQ player in the Women’s World Cup.
The US team has earned as much attention for its wins in recent days as for its harsh criticism of the Trump Administration. Rapinoe rejected an invitation by Trump to visit the White House, as a have several other players. No doubt the folks over at Fox had hoped O’Hara might break rank with her teammates, though if we had to place bets, we think she’ll skip out too.
Queerty should just pull this entire trash piece at this point. Total garbage.
