Tory Bastards Strike Again

One can only assume from David Cameron's recent Commons taunting of Ed Miliband for not being 'butch' enough in his relationship with the shadow chancellor, that he is attempting to make some kind of gay marriage analogy. You know - Miliband's the bitch, Balls is the butch. Apart from being childish, this reveals a disturbing degree of homophobia on the Prime Minister's part if he thinks that likening a working relationship to a gay relationship is demeaning. That said, it's sexist on any level, equating femininity with weakness. But none of this should be surprising bearing in mind Cameron's privileged public school background - he has clearly never encountered either real women or homosexual men. He'd probably be shocked to learn that there are also homosexual women.

But homophobia is very much 'in' after the cabinet reshuffle where, disturbingly, Chris Grayling, who supported the right of B&B owners to discriminate against gay guests, becoming Justice Secretary. A man with a homophobic record in charge of the department responsible for human rights and equality legislation? Was it coincidental that one of the junior Justice Ministers who left the department was openly gay? Then there's Theresa May, (who, incidentally replaced Grayling at the Tory Home Office brief after his pre-election faux pas), who has somehow kept her job as Home Secretary and apparently also has a history of comments that could be construed as homophobic. But what the heck, we also now have a climate change denier as Environment Secretary and an anti-abortion homeopathy (or, as I like to call it, quack science), enthusiast in charge the Health Department! Tory bastards strike again!
