Baroness Nicholson on Regent Street flags

So @Hearach15 how do you feel about Peter Tatchells support of pedophiles? Wasn’t he very into pushing the lowering of the age of consent for sex?

Why not ask her directly? By email. She won’t reply to twitter or other DMs. But she does reply to emails.

Ask her directly.

As someone fighting for women’s and children’s rights from at least the 80s, I expect she has seen more loopholes appear in poorly worded legislation in the UK and at EU level than anyone posting here.

She obviously saw some potential conflict in the rights for women than you. It is worth engaging with her on it.

Or is it just convenient to keep monstering her on Mumsnet?

Back in 2020. Personally, I do not believe gay marriage "degrades" women but then again I am not a homophobe like her!

She believes gay marriage "degrades" women - do you agree?

When was that? Back when Stonewall opposed gay marriage?

Clearly doesn't want LGBT people to have families either. Very homophobic.

So, you have now dropped your claim about same sex marriage?

just to be clear, so we know what the next pivot will be.

Could you also explain to me how gay marriage "degrades" women?

"Apart from voting history". Well, I mean that is a pretty important indicator as to how a person feels.

Why does she believe that gay people should be thrown in jail for having consensual sex with 20 year olds but straight people should not be?

Could you explain that to me?

Apart from voting history which you have twisted to suit your agenda and doesn’t seem to reflect reality, please post evidence to support your claim that Baroness Emma Nicholson ‘hates’ LGBT+ people.

or is this another thread of your unfounded claims?

What LGB lobby groups were against an equal age of consent in the 90s?

"This person shall not exist and no one shall be allowed to listen to or agree with anything they say at any point ever regardless of evidence."

I would also say that I believe she is entitled to her views but LGBT people are equally entitled to call her out on them and accurately label her a homophobe as a consequence.

And there have been posts on other threads addressing posters, including your’s, lack of understanding how good and robust laws are created.

Or perhaps you continue to ignore those and persist in doubling down.

Either way, love to know why you ignore that LGB lobby groups also had concerns at the time the Baroness voted against that wording of the bill.

She's homophobic because she believes gay marriage "degrades" women, doesn't want gays to have families and believes gays should be thrown in jail for having consensual sex with 20 year olds.

I wonder if the noble Baroness proposed that straight people should be banned from marriage, having families and should be thrown in jail for having consensual sex with 20 year old what the reaction would be from this group...

The flags are great, LGBT people are great.

Kittens are a small lake in North Africa and rain falls slowly in cupboards on Wednesdays in space.

She's homophobic?

Less than Stonewall is. She doesn't want to end the right of people to be homosexual or insist that they 'learn to cope' with being in effect straight. If you care about homophobia, go rant about them.

But you don't care about homophobia, this is merely a desperate attempt to divert and stop a thread because its subject matter is inconvenient, and a hope that cancel culture thinking may help with this.

So having ensured this thread has no chance of actually talking about the op, lets think about cancel culture.

1. This person has said something I don't like them saying
2. This person has at some point said or done something I find smelly
3. This person shall not exist and no one shall be allowed to listen to or agree with anything they say at any point ever regardless of evidence.

fgs my five year old has better reasoning skills than this. Cancel whoever you like, you enjoy yourself. But it's rather stupid to carry on like this about a woman whose career has been remarkable, and when you have absolutely nothing practical to say in response to the actual letter, just reasons why you won't tolerate the existence of the speaker.

Most of which are hyperbolic, highly dramatised and wildly inaccurate.

The flags are great, LGBT people are great.

If Emma Nicholson doesn't like us perhaps she could move to somewhere more in line with her views. Maybe Saudi Arabia. I think that would make her and many other people happy.

Funny how she cites a Twitter poll - which anyone who knows anything about a). social media and b). polling will tell you is not representative of public opinion.

Most people quite like the LGBT community, Pride and all that comes with it. She's a very small minority on this issue, folks.

It's interesting how this entire conversation is all about the purity otherwise of Emma Nicholson and no about the stupid flags.

No LGBT groups expressed reservations about an equal age of consent in the 90s. Yet she opposed it.

Equally, she opposed gay marriage because she thought women marrying each other would "degrade" them.

She is a homophobe.

Indeed, that is why a number of lesbians went and protested her home.

What are you talking about? She voted against gay marriage and an equal age of consent. She's a homophobe.

So antifascist, you done in reviling others for having a different opinion? Including a Baroness that will have likely done more for women and children in her career at government level than you?

or are you just going to double down with no discussion? Just denigration, dismissal and shame?
