Tennis Great Margaret Court Decries Transgender Athletes, LGBT Rights as ‘Of the Devil'
[Breitbart] Australian tennis great Margaret Court hit out at transgender athletes on Sunday and branded the teaching of LGBT rights as "of the devil."

The 77-year-old, who won a record 24 Grand Slam singles titles, made the comments while giving a sermon at her Victory Life Church in the Australian city of Perth.

Addressing the issue of trans athletes competing in male or female sports, the Christian pastor said: "You know with that LGBT, they’ll wish they never put the T on the end of it because, particularly in women’s sports, they’re going to have so many problems."

She also claimed children as young as seven were beginning to change gender, adding: "It’s so wrong at that age because a lot of things are planted in this thought realm and they start to question, ’what am I?’

"You know, even that LGBT in the schools, it’s of the devil, it’s not of God..."

Court is known as an opponent of gay unions and stated in the past that lesbianism on the women’s tour has a corrupting influence on young players, as Breitbart Sports reported.

Twelve-times grand slam champion Billie Jean King last year called for Court’s name stripped to be from the Australian Open showcourt in Melbourne because Court’s views on sexuality, including the claim that "tennis is full of lesbians", are offensive to her.

#3 Affirmative action was perfectly OK as long as it promoted women over men - suddenly it's wrong?
