Reeves' liking of several anti-BLM posts from right-wing activist Candace Owens on Instagram prompted several of her fellow cast members to respond in disagreement. Her Days cousin Linsey Godfrey tweeted that "there is no difference of opinion on racism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia." Days star Lamon Archey, who is Black, also expressed his disappointment, but via a gif. Reeves has previously come under from the LGBTQ community for her support of Chick-fil-A.

"______" phobia - the go to word of liberals when someone has an opinion different than their own. Also, yes, there are differences in opinions. Some actually look more into things than others, instead of just jumping on the politically correct bandwagon.

This A list daytime actress claims she's taking a break from acting to keep her family safe from COVID. Everyone knows the real reason she's leaving is because of the backlash over her not so politically correct Instagram activities. The last time she "took a break" was when her husband found out she got a little too method with her co-star.

Lol, except Godfrey is the one who has been let go. I'm sure it's got nothing to do with the fact that's she's an insane biotch...🙄

Her Days cousin Linsey Godfrey tweeted that "there is no difference of opinion on racism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia."

Yeah, she’s right. There is no difference of opinion. Just like this group so many support. The one in this article’s Twitter video screaming racist obscenities at little girls walking into a cheerleading competition.

Any time the liberals disagree with someone, they use their favorite "____phobia." Then again, liberals are known for being "tolerant" and "open-minded" as long as you totally agree with them and ask no questions.

It's a silencing mechanism. And tolerance is a marketing buzzword.

I've always told people, I feel a bit more nervous sharing conservative viewpoints in a liberal space, than I do sharing liberal viewpoints in a conversative space.

Because there's a higher chance than with the latter, the person I'm speaking to will actually interact with what I'm saying. In for the former, response is usually alienation.

There's probably a mediating variable for why this is the case, but the phenomena does seem genuine.

This stance makes her even hotter.
