What hypocrisy! Normally they promote every LGBTQ actor and character, but this time we get outrage?

NBC shared a tweet Monday promoting their article about Roach’s win, writing: “The 23-year-old lesbian tutor from Toronto has amassed a total of $320,081, the most by a Canadian contestant in ‘Jeopardy!’ history.”

The phrasing elicited some angry responses from fans for explicitly pointing out that Roach was part of the LGBTQ+ community. “Is her sexual orientation really relevant here?” one asked.

They don't like to be called a lesbian or a homosexual these days, they say "I am part of the LGBTQ community".

Outrage from "regs". As it should be. Not outrage from the alphabet gang. NBC was doing it's usual pandering when it promoted her alternate lifestyle status. A person's sexual orientation should be private.

It's called being hoisted by one's own petard.

I love when the woke get caught up in the confusion and "slammed".
