Wes Streeting, the gay former-health secretary of the United Kingdom who extended the country’s indefinite ban on gender-affirming care for youth, was appointed to a new role as Defense Secretary last month. He is now opening up about the massive uptick in homophobic abuse he has seen since taking on his new position, even as LGBTQ+ community members criticize him for his transphobic policies.
So you support this anti-tans guy because he’s gay?
Like, the guy the article is about, you support him?
I would fight for his right to be LGBTQ+ even if he is a complete asshole, yeah. I wouldnt support his policies, I dont agree with his politics, but Im not about to deny his identity as a gay man.
Im really not understanding what youre trying to say here then
Nobody told you not to buddy…
I said:
And you got mad at me for not supporting a gay politician who took away gender affirming care…
All I’m saying, is this politicians sexuality and pronouns, would never make me support him, no matter what they were.
Because his policies are hateful.
Like, I’ll call Kaitlyn Jenner Kaitlyn Jenner, I’m fine with that. But she’s still a hateful cunt that’s killed people directly and through her support of political policies.
Because I don’t care about someone’s demographics, I care about their policies and positions, and hers are fucking shitty.
I misunderstood your original comment and thought it came off as you saying he is right in not needing to support people in his own community, clearly the wrong interpretation of your point
