Martina Navratilova Says Margaret Court’s View are Outdated!
Martina Navratilova and Margaret Court dont have the same views on gay marriage, but Navratilova is still happy to play on Court’s cout at the Australian Open.
“It’s an honor, as always, to be on that court,” Navratilova told reporters. “It’s a personal issue. Clearly Margaret Court’s views that she has expressed on same-sex marriage, same-gender marriage, I think are outdated. But it’s not about any one person. It’s not about religious rights, it’s about human rights. It’s a secular view, not a religious view. She’s only seeing it from one viewpoint. I think it goes outside of tennis.”
Margaret Court needs to get her head out of the sand and get with the times!
