The post you are reporting:
Lets face it homophobia is widespread. We are currently experiencing a social trend whereby we all have to 'pretend' we accept it, but behind the scenes, when the Question Time cameras have stopped rolling, or indeed when life's public cameras have stopped rolling, plenty of people are hateful towards homosexuals. It is much more widespread than we dare to admit.
Let me reinforce what i said by a few points that cropped up just THIS WEEK alone.
The Church:
Part of the reason why the Church of England is disintegrating is that many of its members refuse to accept the existence of Gay people of any kind, and particularly as clergy. Its wrong according to the Bible many say, and these views are well and truly entrenched in a social makeup that isnt shifting any time soon.
Sports:
Point two brings me to Ireland this week. A leading sport star in Ireland was featured this week on Channel Four news. Not because of his magnificent sporting prowess in the very macho game of Hurling, but because he had declared himself rather bravely to be Gay. C4 said that he is the ONLY sports 'star' in the Western World in any sport to OUT himself. Life being the way it is, there must be many more sports stars who are Gay, but the sheer hostility of the public is preventing them outing themselves. Can you imagine the hateful abuse from a football terrace if a leading soccer star was Gay. I was a football fan on those terraces for many years and I know full well!
Policeman:
Point three brings me to the young off duty policeman who was beaten to a pulp yesterday because he was Gay. He has multiple fractures of the skull and multiple other injuries and is fighting for his life. A mob set upon him for no reason other than the fact that he was Gay and frequenting a Gay bar.
So any smug and phoney pretence that everyone loves Gays here in the UK is a complete fake. Tapping into this fakery is Nick Griffin, because he is astute enough in his own way, to know there are many of these hate people in our midst, all no doubt looking for a voice to represent them.
