George Galloway has furiously hung up on LBC's Lewis Goodall after he was asked to explain why he said gay relationships are neither the 'norm' nor 'equal'.
“I want them to be taught that there are gay people in the world and that they must be treated with respect and affection as I treat my own gay friends and colleagues with respect and affection but I don’t want my children to be taught that these things are equal because I don’t believe them to be equal.”
Maybe I’m being naive, but as a gay dude I don’t see what he’s saying as hateful. I’m not sure what adjective fits though, “pedantic” doesn’t seem quite right.
You are being both naive and internally and laterally homophobic if you think gay people are not equal to straight ones, or that there is any reasonable or somehow valid explanation to why they shouldn’t be seen as such.

It’s a slippery slope.
It starts with these things aren’t equal then its they aren’t equal then its they shouldn’t be allowed.
That’s a bit of a weird way to talk about someone you allegedly respect.
