1. La Transfobia como Precursora de la Homofobia.
Numerosos comentarios señalan que la normalización de la transfobia en la política y los medios británicos ha creado un ambiente propicio para el resurgimiento de la homofobia, considerándola una consecuencia directa y predecible.
- Oh look it’s what lgbt people have been explaining will happen if transphobia is allowed to become rife: homophobia becoming a daily part of british politics again.
- Transphobia has *always* been about misogyny and homophobia as well. Always.
- Transphobia is the entry drug to homophobia & the community knows it. Next the uk media will want neo-nazis at holocaust events!
- One of the more maddening parts of being an lgbt historian during the great british trans panic is knowing how *identically* the homophobia of the 80s matches the transphobia of today and yet having that knowledge dismissed by condescending privileged 'progressives' (lookin' at you, labour/grauniad).
- [uk politics, transphobia, homophobia] first they come for the trans people, then they come for the rest of the queers, as we always said they would.
2. Críticas a los Partidos Políticos y Figuras Públicas.
Los partidos políticos, especialmente Labour, los Conservadores (Tories) y Reform UK, son acusados de fomentar o tolerar discursos homofóbicos y transfóbicos, ya sea a través de políticas explícitas, inacción o alianzas con figuras controvertidas.
- I see your party is off to a flying start on transphobia and homophobia. The majority of their parliamentary support here….
- I do like the massive lack of self-awareness from labour as it pays out massive compensation to past victims of homophobia while at the same time introducing transphobic policies.
- Reform rearing up their homophobia for the next election, i see. Transphobia seems to work, so why not? this would be comical if it wasn’t so dangerous, and clearly an attempt to undermine equal marriage and adoption rights.
- The racism, homophobia, and transphobia is coming straight from labour. That you’re acting like this is anything more than an attempt to gaslight people makes me wonder how gullible you are.
- And then pointing out that labour are setting themselves to be discussed in the same way about transphobia due to their policies as tory’s are thought of for homophobia due to section 28.
3. El Rol de los Medios en la Normalización del Odio.
Se acusa a medios de comunicación como la BBC, The Guardian y GB News de normalizar la homofobia y la transfobia, ya sea por falta de crítica, por dar plataforma a discursos de odio o por tener un historial de publicaciones discriminatorias.
- I didn’t think it would take long for outright homophobia to resurface on the bbc. The outfit is wholly tory/reformuk subverted, so it can only get worse here on in.
- British tv excusing homophobia is the only direction this could have headed after letting all that transphobia slide btw.
- Lol at the guardian trying to pretend they're progressive after forcing far right transphobia on everyone for the past decade. The guardian also have a rich history of homophobia they've never apologised for and racism which they have (blink and you'd miss it) quietly apologised for.
- Cw: homophobia, hate speech gb news is spouting hate. This week, it’s targeting the lgbtq community, repeating hateful lies that attempt to tie lgbtq people to paedophilia. It’s time for ofcom to act.
- Standard homophobia but again, uk media is run by right wing same as uk is, theyre untouchable and they know it, nobody will stop this.
4. Percepción de un Retroceso en los Derechos LGTBQ+.
Existe una sensación generalizada de retroceso en los derechos y la aceptación social de la comunidad LGTBQ+ en el Reino Unido. Los comentarios reflejan la necesidad de volver a defender avances que se consideraban consolidados.
- Homophobia alive and well in the uk. Progress must be fought for and defended again and again.
- They literally want to bring back section 28 style homophobia back to britain.
- What i find shocking is that homophobia reduced over time whereas transphobia has boomed in recent years - the only prejudice in the british social attitudes survey to increase.
- The rebirth of western homophobia didn't happen overnight, it has its roots in the right-wing crusade against trans people. Unfortunately, we must be ready for the same timeline of events here in the uk within the next 10 years.
- We are backtracking on decades of progress. No whataboutism - challenge it in all its forms.
