Once again, the world’s favourite author won’t tolerate bigotry and stupidity on social media.
Author JK Rowling has put a lobby group called Christian Voice back in their box after they posted a horrible remark about British diver Tom Daley, who failed to qualify for the 10m final in the diving.
Daley is gay; Christian Voice are homophobes.
They tweeted…
Turning gay doesn't seem to have done Tom Daley any favours at #Rio2016 https://t.co/tdbT0Y5acx

Rowling caught wind of the tweet and wasn’t shy about speaking out.
Can't decide which is more offensive in this tweet, the stupidity or the spite. https://t.co/ksqZp17drc

Indy100 also quotes an article from SB Nation, which shows how the medal count at the last London Olympic showed how gay athletes actually won more medals than their straight counterparts.
