Both Fox News and homophobes hated Coldplay and Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show over the weekend - so they must have done something right.
The first part of the show featured what The Guardian referred to as "a marriage-equality inspired rainbow wave of placards" held up throughout the stadium, spelling out the message, "Believe In Love."
Despite the fact that the message was about as subtle and gentle as they come, and that the rainbow colour scheme also fits in with that of Coldplay's new album, it proved too much for some viewers to cope with.
Forgot the halftime show was changed to a gay rights movement

Super bowl 50 halftime show is emitting homosexual tendencies@CloydRivers what has America come to? Football is being destroyed.

I believe the message of that halftime show was "quickly, become a homosexual"

Since when is the super bowl halftime show a gay pride festival

All the Halftime performance did was try to promote homosexuality.

Basically a homo pride celebration during halftime..... And that's one reason our country has gone down

Beyonce's appearance, meanwhile, also ruffled a few feathers - this time with Fox News panelist. Her performance referenced the Black Panthers and the black power salute, and afterwards her dancers held signs reading, "Justice 4 Mario Woods" - a black man shot dead by police last year.
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, during his appearance on Fox & Friends, said, "Let's have decent, wholesome entertainment and not use it as a platform to attack the people who risk their lives to save us."
Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin tweeted, "Cuz nothing brings us all together better than angry @Beyonce shaking her ass & shouting 'Negro' repeatedly."
Nothing brings us all together better than a hatred of Fox News.
