UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Maybe I'm being naive, but as a gay dude I don't see what he's saying as hateful. I'm not sure what adjective fits though, "pedantic" doesn't seem quite right.
You are being both naive and internally and laterally homophobic if you think gay people are not equal to straight ones, or that there is any reasonable or somehow valid explanation to why they shouldn't be seen as such.
It's a slippery slope.
It starts with these things aren't equal then its they aren't equal then its they shouldn't be allowed.
That’s a bit of a weird way to talk about someone you allegedly respect.
