@ericernerstedt @hateMcCrime @ManySuchCases Negative views of gay people then.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@CptHastings1916 I don’t think it’s that so much that a person might be very nice in person but as a politician they’re still trying to restrict people’s rights. The former doesn’t mitigate the latter.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@Jametwonk @jakonian The thing is it’s a bit different with politicians because their views translate into actions. She might have been a lovely person but she also sought, sometimes successfully, to restrict people’s rights.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@PolitlcsUK At least they have the millions to pay for it.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@ArchRose90 Which rights do you think gay people should lose?

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@Gaynotqueer1 Unlikely.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@RedfishRoots @TStandfield1789 @Nigel_Farage @KemiBadenoch @Keir_Starmer Yeh, she did her best to stop gay people from having equal rights, so fair play to her.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@sexrealitybites It means trans women alllowed

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@AaronPDBisiaux Sure. How do you feel about people trying to restrict your rights though?

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@HeadWarriorTWM You’ve just called for someone to be fired for offending people.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@hateMcCrime @ManySuchCases And the person in the original tweet is not suggesting it was acceptable she was murdered.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@ericernerstedt @hateMcCrime @ManySuchCases It does.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@bulkbiker @ManySuchCases Absolutely. She did her best to stop gay people from having equal rights, you have to respect that.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@ManySuchCases He wasn’t celebrating her murder, it was written before that. But she did try and stop you from marrying along with other rights you’ve enjoyed.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@authorgarystamp So you don’t think gays should get married or have children? You think people should be actively put off trying to do so? Because I dont think a lot of the gay community would agree

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@OdohertyI64991 Can't see the excuse of savagery in the original tweet...

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@DerekMPH @OdohertyI64991 I dunno, when someone's actively advocating against you having the same rights as ever, the splinter is pretty easy to see.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@smileypaddy789 @OdohertyI64991 I think if someone actively sought to restrict your rights, you may have a different take on what was going on.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@chazza1000 @CorkGourmetGuy @OdohertyI64991 She voted against gay rights repeatedly.

[Bjerkley @abjerkley]

@llggeorgia @unherd So then to be consistent with her spirit, people can express shock at her death whilst expressing their firm commitment to the idea that her views and actions were toxic and harmful.
