GAY FORMER EXTREMIST CAOLAN ROBERTSON SAYS LEAVG THE FAR-RIGHT WAS LIKE PG ‘A CULT’

A gay former extremist Caolan Robertson has said that leavg the far-right was like leavg “a cult”, and explaed how homophobia ntributed to his radilisatn. He knew he was gay om a young age, but acrdg to the New York Tim, when he later moved to London he began to experience more homophobia than ever before, cludg om Mlim muni the cy’s East End. Hundreds of thoands of people marched through the streets of the German pal Berl on Saturday support of lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr and queer (LGBTQ) rights.

He said that beg gay was a ntributg factor leadg him down the rabb hole of extremist views.

Mr Robertson said he didn't experience any homophobia until he moved to London, "where there were groups of Mlim men marchg around east London tryg to tablish 'Sharia zon' sayg that gays should get out of the area". He then saw a documentary which picted some Mlim men nmng gay people, and then watched as the gay muny Orlando were targeted a mass shootg.

Mr Robertson said he regrets makg the extremist ntent but said that at the time, he and others felt they need to shock people to wakg up to the nflict between people g to Europe and women and gay people. Robertson next offered the exce that he and Llewellyn-John had been driven to the far right bee of the homophobia of Islam.

This stck me as a peculiar thg to be imprsed by — Robson had been to their hoe, too, after all — unls Robertson had expected Robson to hark back to old homophobic prejudice about “not lettg gays around the kiddi” — which se, why turn to him as a savur om homophobia?

GAY HISTORY: IS IT OKAY TO BE GAY (AND THE FAR-RIGHT)?

Robertson’s own views on homosexualy are muddled: 2017 he lled Pri London, which he reported on for Canadian far-right se Rebel Media, a “generate ftival. The group Ristg Hate also pots out that when a Dubl gay bar was sprayed wh swastikas and offensive homophobic slogans 2017, Robertson tweeted: “FAKE. Most likely gays sperate to be victims.
