1./ Whatever happened to gay male activism? Once upon a time we gay blokes tried to lighten up the world with wit and charm -and alongside our lesbian sisters- built solidarity with others in civil society... such as the hard-pressed working class.👇

2./ Now, tied to a colossal and corrupt LGBTQ+ gravy train too many gay men feel entitled to bully women, talk down to workers by demanding pronoun obeisance and, most disgusting of all, pompously deny the darkest open secret in our movement...lesbians being sexually harassed. 👇

3./ Doesn't that tweet 👆encapsulate the arrogance of "new style gays" to which Chapelle referred? A publisher of an illiterate rag threatens the finest broadcaster on the planet about an important subject; demanding an apology while having no clue to whom he should complain. 🤦‍♂️

4./ This brittle arrogance has become the reflex tone adopted today by too many gay "spokesmen". It's this perhaps that explains why Peter Tatchell feels free blatantly to misrepresent @ALLIANCELGB. But then again ...he's got used to misrepresenting people, not least himself.

5./ It's the same arrogance that allows a chancer like Matt Lucas to cheerfully defame an organisation led by lesbians as anti-trans, despite the fact he made a significant living doing blackface and ridiculing trans people. Maybe "cis-heteronormativity" made him do it. Or cash.

6./ Elected reps have adopted the hyperbolic voice too. Here's John Nicolson, an MP (and don't you forget it, little people) spreading a laughable conspiracy theory that @ALLIANCELGB was behind a globally organised attempt to take over the SNP. 😂🤦‍♂️👇

7./ This former (if undistinguished) BBC journo refused to be interviewed by the BBC's 'Nolan Investigates'. Perhaps he was worried he'd be asked to provide evidence of his claims to @ofcom that @ALLIANCELGB was akin to a racist group. Just listen to that pomposity.👇

8./ And then there's St David Paisley whom I'd never heard of until he came screeching and cursing on to my timeline to call me a "POS and a hateful bigot". He recently said he'd sue me for pointing out he'd liked a tweet suggesting trans people should be able to carry guns. 👇

9./ Now he both denies he ever liked the tweet and posts retweets justifying that like. Consistent? The only consistent things about Paisley's brief career as a SJW have been the continual threats of legal action, the victim blaming, the misogyny and his bleating fabrications.

10./ David didn't invent this pattern of gay male bullying that reeks of old style woman-hatred sprinkled with new-style woke glitter. He just came to embody it. If gay men want to rebuild our reputation with women and society maybe it's time we told him and the others to WHEESH.
