@PinkNews PinkNews were clearly too dim to realise that the man they attack here is one of their own authors! His several articles on PN contradict this hit-piece. How about "Activist instrumental in writing for Pink News linked to anti-abortion and anti-LGBT+ hate groups"? #OwnGoal /1

@PinkNews Gary Powell opposes ALL surrogacy for ALL people: not just for gay couples, as PN try to imply. He opposes surrogacy because it is harmful to poor women who are exploited by the wealthy who hire them out for their wombs. It is also harmful to babies. /2

@PinkNews Regarding the Lady Hale judgment: Gary supported the £580,000 award to the woman in damages. But he opposed the ADDITIONAL £560,000 award to her to have FOUR commercial surrogacy pregnancies in the USA. Commercial surrogacy is ILLEGAL in the UK. /3

@PinkNews Gary stopped writing for PinkNews in 2015 after it became a gutterpress comic obsessed with extreme gender ideology, & increasingly irrelevant & embarrassing to any self-respecting gay, lesbian or bisexual person. /4

@PinkNews Here he is, listed as a PinkNews author. “What? PinkNews is linked to someone who dares to speak to conservative Christians who don’t agree with his support for gay marriage, for adoption by gay couples and for legal abortion?” Quelle horreur! /5

@PinkNews Gary Powell attacking religious homophobia and explaining the terrible effect it had on him as a gay person in his youth. Published by Pink News. Doesn’t fit their narrative, does it? Go on: explain that away. (Of course, you will try. You will try SO hard.) /6

@PinkNews Gary’s PinkNews piece criticising UKIP for opposing gay marriage. (If PinkNews claim he is “linked” to people who oppose gay marriage, & PinkNews is “linked” to him as their author, that makes PinkNews themselves no less “linked” to him than LGB Alliance. #OwnGoal /7

@PinkNews Another Pink News piece by Gary Powell, expressing his support for gay rights & gay marriage. (The wheels are coming off the gender extremism bandwagon thanks to LGB Alliance and its many supporters. What will PinkNews do then, who have sold out on LGB rights?) /8

@PinkNews In this piece, PinkNews author Gary Powell defends gay marriage against religious objections. /9

@PinkNews PinkNews author Gary Powell criticises evangelical Christian Tim Farron, then Lib Dem leader, for refusing to answer the question whether he thought gay sex was a sin. (Tut tut, PinkNews. Didn’t do your homework. Too busy cherry-picking and twisting facts.) /10

@PinkNews PinkNews used to be a fairly sensible publication that didn't obsess about extreme gender theory that erases gay history & identity. Since then, it has become a spiteful and slimy tabloid bully with scant respect for fairness, facts or reasoned discussion. #PinkFakeNews /ends
