This bigot is a perfect cautionary story for single issue voting.
He is well known to be a bigoted piece of shit, but he pulled a “broken clock” and was inevitably right on one issue, which was clearly enough for people to either completely ignore, or not even look in to his history, which is pretty scary…
(to be clear - I’m not saying voting for a candidate who supports free Palestine is a problem, it’s voting for a candidate who only supports a free Palestine while stomping on every other marginalised group - a problem. If that is your only option, better vote none than vote for trampling someone else’s rights)
This is a clip of a clip, it is an edited clip you clipped out the point about the 97 genders
“Why are we talking about my homophobia when we should be talking about my transphobia.”
Utter dick head.
“I want them to be taught that there are gay people in the world and that they must be treated with respect and affection as I treat my own gay friends and colleagues with respect and affection but I don’t want my children to be taught that these things are equal because I don’t believe them to be equal.”
Maybe I’m being naive, but as a gay dude I don’t see what he’s saying as hateful. I’m not sure what adjective fits though, “pedantic” doesn’t seem quite right.
You are being both naive and internally and laterally homophobic if you think gay people are not equal to straight ones, or that there is any reasonable or somehow valid explanation to why they shouldn’t be seen as such.
It’s a slippery slope.
It starts with these things aren’t equal then its they aren’t equal then its they shouldn’t be allowed.
that these things are equal
That’s a bit of a weird way to talk about someone you allegedly respect.
