"Muslims, who are ideologically opposed to homosexuality, arnt the homphobes. Its those 'bad guys in power' who, even though they never do anything particularly homophobic, that are the real homophobes"

[Ewan 🐙 @EwanBen]

I think people need to be aware that Muslims are not the ones furthering the causes of homophobia, transphobia, etc. If you want to get mad at someone get mad at the people with political power materially advancing that bigotry

@matthewjswalker @theraggedwood What rights do trans people lack in the UK?

[Vaguely Rational @logi_con]

@Frankpembleton6 @owenjonesjourno @JasonReidx @5Pillarsuk The "visit iran" website is probably wrong and out of context too id imagine

[Vaguely Rational @logi_con]

@Frankpembleton6 @owenjonesjourno @JasonReidx @5Pillarsuk ...and they state explicitly that headscarf wearing is mandatory...... are we agreed now?

[Vaguely Rational @logi_con]

@BARFJAMiN What specific views that 5 pillars are exposing are representative of Islam?

[Vaguely Rational @logi_con]

@Frankpembleton6 @owenjonesjourno @JasonReidx @5Pillarsuk What is bollocks here? Are you saying Christian woman are permitted to walk around IRO Iran without headcoverings? Or is something else bollocking here?

[Vaguely Rational @logi_con]

It really is this simple: if the Green Party ever collaborate with 5Pillars again, I am out, and so are thousands of others.

No more interviews, no more endorsements, nothing.

Progressive movements cannot exist with homophobic religious fundamentalism.

@Maxine2xs @RitaPanahi Thats beside the point - do you think we should "respect the families wishes" becuase they are the family's wishes, or becuase, in this speciic case, they allign with your views? There is no wrong answer to this, im just interested to know

[Vaguely Rational @logi_con]

@Maxine2xs @RitaPanahi So its not actually about the family's wishes then? Its about what YOU conisder to be morally correct? Thats fine by the way but at least be honest about it

[Vaguely Rational @logi_con]

Green party in "Muslims should stop following their religion" shock!!

Who'd ever have thought these particular bedfellows would fall out....!?

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Why don’t we agree to have a Britain free of both Islamophobia and homophobia?
