LGBTQ doesn't represent the majority of gays. Nobody voted for them. The movement is a Marxist cult. It uses the platform of gay causes to damage social institutions. It is not colourful or amusing. As a gay man I dread LGBTQ supporters, not from some phobia, but from fear of lethal boredom.

When Radcliffe and the other two little snots dissociated themselves from JK Rowling, I posted on my facebook page something to the effect that they were arrogant, ungrateful nonentities, who'd be nothing without her. My grown-up (50+) friends all agreed with me, and one of about 50 said that they'd been good for her too. (Seriously?) The biggest backlash came from the under-35s, who ignored my point and attacked her for her beliefs, which I don't think were what they thought they were. One is a girl who wants to be a boy, and said JKR wants people like her - sorry, them - dead. Impressive that a generation that can't write decent English is so talented at creating straw man arguments.

Please don’t divide us along generational lines. I’m in my early twenties and absolutely on Rowling’s side here. I’m not alone in that. Younger people are just more aware of the consequences of speaking out against the trans narrative. We have more at stake when it comes to our career prospects and social circles. Don’t ever think social media gives an accurate representation of real life. It’s a game of who shouts the loudest, and it just so happens that self-important activists with no friends or purpose spend the most time online.

James Dreyfus is a criminally underrated actor and a champion of womens rights which in this clown world makes him a hero in my book. The vitriol he receives on Twitter has got to be seen to be believed.
