Straight Man elected as Labour LGBT Officer 😂

'Str8 white man' What's this person's colour got to do with it as well? How does he know this person is a 'man'.

Homophobia seems only to apply to males, obviously, within the Labour Party.

And yes, be careful what you wish for.

Solidarity, my arse!

I'd rather give in to schadenfreude than be permanently angry. It's all we have at the moment.

Bernard, I do feel like we are just watching civilisation eat itself now.

But let me have the schadenfreude! It's the only thing keeping me sane!

oh go on then

i'm just in a grump, and have been since it became apparent to me that Boris Fucking Johnson will be the next prime minister of the united kingdom, with no effective opposition

Schadenfreude is underrated. It goes down very nicely with espresso and dark chocolate.

Have we seen this tweet? Man comparing this with the notion of a man being a woman's officer - but his own Twitter feed shows he's fine with self ID. Berk.

Well yes, he could be gay or trans or bi, but not yet able to speak about his identification. He needs love and support, not this hideous opposition because of how he currently presents.
He will blossom like a beauuuutiful butterfly in the right, nurturing environment. Come on Rohit, show him some tlc.

"How does Rohit know that he's straight, then? Or, indeed, a man?"

Can you imagine if the successful candidate did now identify as a woman? And frankly there's nothing stopping him of course.

And Rohit has just called her a man? And misgendered her repeatedly?

Spinster he may identify as agender and have no words to describe it. :)

Wow look at all the transphobes on twitter assuming the gender identity of the successful candidate based on their (would hate to misgender) appearance. Isn't that literal violence?

It's almost as if they think biological sex is binary and in most cases obvious.........

How bigoted of Rohit to not acknowledge his own cis LGBT+ privilege in the face of this poor person's trans-LGBT oppression

First they came for the women...

Zero sympathy. I would have cared about this at one time but now...nah!

All those pontificating about how terrible this is will be the same people that hound women and call us names for objecting to men being elected into women's positions.

Have they even asked this man how he identifies?

but this organisation was built with the money and time of working people, to provide political representation for working people. to offset the privileged few getting exclusive access to political representation by dint of the resources at their disposal

Yes.

But let me have the schadenfreude! It's the only thing keeping me sane!

Rohit complains that this person doesn't mention 'how he self-identifies' in his statement twitter.com/RKDasgupta/status/1144372249543286784

How does Rohit know that he's straight, then? Or, indeed, a man? He could be a queer non-binary person for all Rohit knows. Or a lesbian. All he has to do is say the words, after all...

This is the Labour Party right now.

Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes every way he turns.

Beans maybe but there's an assumption that him and his friends give a shit about women. I would love to be proved wrong though.

The whole thing has an almost unreal, dream like feel to it

Well, boys, now you know how we feel. Not nice is it?

When you added the T to the LGB, and the Q and the rest of the alphabet soup - you brought straight people under the LGBT umbrella. Everyone wants a slice of the rainbow pie now

I notice everyone's outraged of his behalf - where was the outrage when women's political positions were being taken?

I now that schadenfreude is indeed a delightful feeling. BUt is this an opportunity to make allies here? To point out to Rohit that this is how 50% of the population is being disciplined & coerced?

Yes, yes, I know - my niceness is showing ...

He's just widening the bandwidth of what it means to be gay! How bigoted of Rohit to not acknowledge his own cis LGBT+ privilege in the face of this poor person's trans-LGBT oppression

Red I actually think you may physically hear it happen.

I agree that a straight man isn't the best choice for this position. But I'm actually enjoying watching the outrage and the hypocrisy explode after it was totally ok for labour to shaft women to indulge a adult human male called Madigan whilst gaining woke points.

So zero sympathy or fucks from me dude. Yes Lang, acceptance without exception. Hurts, doesn't it?

When LOJ explodes all over Twitter can someone post it on here

Straight people are humans too

I can't believe Rohit is denying the existence of straight people.
We just want to politic in peace.
