Oh the irony! Watch the woke folk implode with self-righteous indignation!

Karma?

I wouldn’t have thought there could ever be a person who I’d want Farage to beat, them labour went and found me one.
Truly, these people have a genius for self destruction.

MrsBertBibby · 28/06/2019 19:01

That was hardly serious. He was 5th on the list and Labour only ever get 1 seat out of 10 for South East England.

PencilsInSpace · 28/06/2019 19:11

Does anybody know who actually won the post yet?

ScrimshawTheSecond · 28/06/2019 19:34

I'm really confused. So the man was straight, okay, fine. But presuming he was one of the other letters in the LGBTIQA+ umbrella, which covers quite a lot of ground, no?

Labour, you've only yourselves to blame.

I've checked little OJ's timeline and there's nary a mention....

SunsetBeetch · 28/06/2019 19:58

HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!! Grin

Popchyk · 28/06/2019 20:02

OJ is in a tricky spot.

Normally he'd be straight on to denouncing wrongdoing against a gay man. He was very swift to denounce all those who said that rubberman wanking in the toilets at the NSPCC and uploading it to porn sites is perhaps a safeguarding concern.

But. The perpetrator of this latest wrongdoing is a man. In the Labour party. Which we all know is the bastion of righteousness as far as OJ is concerned.

So what's poor old Owen to do?

Keep quiet and hope it goes away, like all fearless warriors do.

Last time I looked he was banging on about Brexit and Boris Johnson

bettybeans · 28/06/2019 20:16

This is absolute popcorn. Maybe that's what GC women need to do. Just start disingenuously hoovering up all the positions with self ID. Problem is we all know that women would take much more flak than this man will. I don't want to have to win dirty.

AnthonyCrowley · 28/06/2019 20:19

Gosh, Rohit is such a bigot. How dare he say the other person's self identified persona isn't valid.

Just because someone isn't gay does not mean they're not T or Q or +

TriptychDebbie · 28/06/2019 20:20

Everyone's favourite doctor is also being incredibly quiet about this too

dontdoxmeeither · 28/06/2019 20:39

The comments on all Twitter feeds relating to this are just....just FUCKING GLORIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Came across this on GayStar News: www.gaystarnews.com/article/london-gay-man-loses-lgbt-officer-role-in-labour-party-to-a-straight-man/#gs.m4h507

They interviewed Rohit Dasgupta, and rehashed the twitter thread - of course excising any mention of Dasgupta's alleged misogyny/TERFsaying or of people's questions/comments comparing the situation to the issues with the Women's Officer positions.

Dasgupta allegedly "felt like some colleagues in the Labour party was (sic) critical of his views on education". He and his allies seem to be seems to be claiming the person who beat him (still unnamed) may have been working with anti-RSE protesters, but GayStar says they found no evidence of this. They've invited the person to comment.

Dasgupta DOES say he was suspicious of his opponent since that person had only recently been part of Labour LGBTQIA+ groups, and he wanted to know the person's sexuality/identity but of course it was wrong to ask. But apparently someone else DID ask, and "He allegedly responded: ‘This isn’t about LGBT, this is about everything being inclusive.’ "

So - Dasgupta presumably does NOT know that this person is "str8".

"He allegedly responded: ‘This isn’t about LGBT, this is about everything being inclusive.’ "

Oh the irony.

The Twitter feed is glorious. It was a pleasure leaving comments Grin

Ain't Karma a bitch...

"[T]here are publicly and privately expressed concerns that one of the new self-identifying officers has not been sincere about their identification."

Impossible! Get Layla Moran to check the man's soul, you phobic bigots.

Straight people are gay
White people are black
Normal is deviant

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 28/06/2019 21:23

The winner may just be identifying as LGBT. After all, if it's OK for a male teenager to serve as Women's Officer because they identify as a woman, then surely it's fine for LGBT Officer to identify as being LGBT. Expecting him to actually be LGBT is so last year.

And, coming at it from another angle, if this het man says he's a lesbian he's immediately not just LGBT but he can stay with his current female partner too.

CassianAndor · 28/06/2019 21:27

Yes, Rohit. It beholds you to ensure that being gay is inclusive of straight people. Amirite?

Hoist by the inclusivity petard. Bound to happen sooner or later.

WhereYouLeftIt · 28/06/2019 21:35

I can understand LOJ's radio silence. It's a dilemma for him. Does he side with the BME LGBT male (maximum points!)? I'm sure he wants to. But he would then have to admit that Self-ID can be and is being used by those who may not actually identify as they say they do. That people LIE. And that would be contradicting everything he's claimed for Self-ID to date.

Fucking brilliant, isn't it? Grin

(And this of course also applies to the usual bunch of arsewipes who would otherwise be furiously tweeting on this matter. We know who they are.)

CaveMum · 28/06/2019 21:49

Personally I have been leaving Alanis Morrisette gifs all over Twitter threads bemoaning this story 😜

I’m sorry, but did the loser just assume the winners gender?

For all the loser knows the winner is a woman. And in a lesbian relationship. I can’t believe that a Labour Party member is potentially misgenderjng someone all over the Internet.
