Having tried to destroy the leading charitable voice in the country arguing black lives are worth the same as white lives The Times is now trying to destroy the leading charitable voice in the country arguing that queer lives are worth the same as straight ones.
No one who calls themselves progressive should pay for Murdoch's attempts to roll back gains won for minority communities over time. Please, if you care about your BAME neighbours, your gay friends, your trans colleagues, cancel your subscription to The Times.
No anology is perfect, of course, but it is hard not to be struck by how The Times attacked Labour under Corbyn for only listening to marginal voices in Judaism whilst it only listens to (even more) marginal voices in the LGBT+ community now.
It's not only sinister it's also just inept. They tried to run a story this morning - generated by some twitter crank - that the Grounds of the Charity Commission appeal had not been drafted by Counsel. Totally unevidenced and just flat wrong. Desperate, bottom-feeding stuff.
Just for those who don't keep a close eye on such things, The Times is now gearing up for its third attack story in twenty four hours on Stonewall.
