Candace Cameron Bure Doesn't Hate Gay People
by EG
Candace Cameron Bure wants her fans to know that loving Jesus doesn’t mean hating gay people.
The 40-year-old Fuller House star recently came under attack after modeling a “Not Today Satan” T-shirt in a selfie on Instagram.
The phrase was made famous by RuPaul's Drag Race champion Bianca Del Rio, who said the line during the hit show’s sixth season.
Del Rio (né Roy Haylock) — who sells “Not Today Satan” merchandise on her website and even named her latest tour after the phrase — noticed Bure’s post and regrammed it on social media.
“IF ONLY, THIS HOMOPHOBIC, REPUBLICAN KNEW………,” the 41-year-old drag queen wrote, adding a series of devil faces and hearts after it.
That move prompted Del Rio’s fans to flood Bure’s page with what she calls “horrible” comments, many pointing out that Bure should “look up where that quote comes from.”
“Didn’t know hypocrisy was in fashion,” wrote one. “The irony is thick,” said another.
Bure then wrote Rio. “Why do you have to be nasty to me? You don’t know me or my heart.” she said.
“I’m not homophobic and [it’s] always sad when people think otherwise. Loving Jesus doesn’t mean I hate gay people or anyone. You sent a bunch of hateful people to my page writing horrible things. I hope next time you’ll spread love and kindness, even when you disagree with people.”
She ended the comment — which Del Rio also Instagrammed — with a peaceful message: “Sending you love and wish you all the best. Truly.”
