To be a homophobe or misogynist is a terrible thing. You can't just go around calling people something so awful, because you don't like them. You can't call them racists, Nazis, or murderers either.

That this has come from one of the main news sources is quite disturbing.
.@BorisJohnson was on the right side of gay marriage before many were. This may not gel with some people's view of him, but it doesn't make it any less true.

This was also true of VP Dick Cheney, and the left in the US have never gotten over it.
You might think, if you really cared abt equality, you would celebrate when people who aren't often your ally are on your side.

Apparently not - it's better to win political points / misinform marginalised groups about the extent to which they have support across the spectrum.
