DAVID MUNLL OUT AS THE FIRST OPENLY GAY TORY BET MISTER. SO WHAT?

It needs to be noted that if you were to make a pie chart parg openly posive wh openly negative rpons, would basilly jt be a big gay pie. It wouldn’t have been like this a ago; when David Munll turned 18, homosexualy was still a crimal offence Stland. We seem to have reached a pot where most people thk homophobia is a matter of llg people specific nam; no nam, no homophobia.

In 2016, that’s not necsarily what homophobia looks like, ’s often much more mundane and bbish than that but sadly, ’s also way more mon.

And some are jt awful homophobia:. Unrmg the legimacy of someone‘s sexualy is the most basic form of homophobia. “Call me a cynic but…” No, you’re beg a homophobe.

Many of the rpons look a lot like the work of the wheht briga, who leap out to tell gay people to shut up bee “who even r? If you’re puntg your amazg abily to spot a gay, based on your own prejudic, as though that’s somethg to be proud of, have a word wh yourself. It might not be news if we lived a society which didn’t vlently enforce heterosexualy or if straight people and non-straight people had the same life expectancy or if homophobia no longer existed.

We’re the last people to pretend the left is all sweetns and light on issu of sexualy and/or genr but I nnot image what beg a gay Tory at var pots their history would have been like. The expectatn that people who’re gay have to want to jo you your qut to overthrow palism/end London le is actually, well, homophobia. Ruth Davidson, homophobia and hatg all nservativ equally.

Equaly is Gay: A homophobic history of the left. When n we start promotg homosexualy schools?

David Munll, the Secretary of State for Stland, is gay. Of urse Munll is not the first gay Tory bet mister, merely, ’s believed, the first to “openly” acknowledge the fact.
