I mentioned this on the other thread briefly.
He was removed by the Tories earlier today and he has resigned as Mayor later today.
As Town Mayor you represent everyone regardless of colour, creed, religion, sexuality, age, etc. If you don't feel you can represent everyone then you shouldn't have that role.
They may throw you off buildings for being gay in other countries, but we aren't living in other countries.

Honestly I'm not sure many places are that welcoming to the LGBT+ community, regardless of religion.
I remember standing outside the Record Cafe about five years ago before a match and a trans-person walked past. A significant number of Bradford City fans felt it necessary to shout abuse.
Last Saturday morning, I took the dog out for a walk and I found a person who had been subjected to a homophobic attack. They had been stripped and taken an awful kicking,. I waited with them for half an hour until an ambulance arrived, and my partner came down with blankets. It was horrible. I've given a statement to the police but I doubt much will happen.
It's very important that ignorance and intolerance in our society is challenged, wherever it comes from.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Skyebantam, Craven Cottager, Storck and 2 others like this. -

Lol. Let's not beat around the bush here, if you are gay, lesbian, trans, or some other letter of the alphabet you don't fit in with a centuries old ideology, an ideology young kids in Bradford are indoctrinated into from a very early age with no choice in the matter. Look, we've seen through Christianity in this country, it's been on the decline for decades. But this younger more aggressive upstart is here to take its place.Sergio Pinto III, 1975citygent, Salty and 1 other person like this. -

Oooooo don't you just love it when the left eats itself?
On the one hand we are screamed at daily to tolerate everyone's beliefs and celebrate this and that - and we are also told to welcome and embrace cultures/beliefs like this fellas, which go against everything tolerance stands for.
Brilliant.Bronco and NorthernMonkey like this. -

I think he would have come out of this better if he had declined the invite for religious reasons and sent someone else.

Imagine flip flopping like this the second he gets criticised.
Who does he think he is, Boris Johnson?
