    As much as I dislike Starmer I’d rather have a liberal to a National Socialist. One thing we know from history from these far-right social politics mixed with leftist economics people is that their social views always come first and they always end up cracking down on workers even more than liberals or conservatives.

    Extremely disappointed in you guys Novara Media, this was very disingenuous of you. George is entitled to his personal beliefs and it was very clear that there is no hateful intent and everyone is still to be treated with respect and affection despite his religious beliefs. Unlike many, many other politicians. I don't share the same religious beliefs as him but completely respect him for what he said. The clip you released was virtually clickbait on your behalf, the full interview gave much more context. There was no hate directed from him towards gay people or anyone else for that matter. Shame on you for making a 'thing' of this .

    The majority of people aren't LGBT. Britain is way more homophobic and transphobic today than it has ever been with the rise of the far right that Galloway's words incite. That's why there should never be any referendums about the rights of minorities voted for by the majority, a majority that has no real understanding of it and are more likely to be bigoted about it.

    It is for the simple reason that the antonym for usual is unusual, the antonym for typical is atypical while the antonym for normal is abnormal. You would have to be disingenuous if you claim that the latter word is not used consistently in a judgemental or derogatory sense. I am left handed. Nowhere have I ever seen myself described as abnormal or even not normal. Here's a question for you to ponder : Is it normal for about 10% of the population to be left handed? Now, by extension : Is it normal for between 5 and 10% of the population to be gay?

    We literally label ourselves the “queer” community. Queer means strange. LGBT acitvists constantly talk about how we live in a “heteronormative” society, so of course we’re not normal. However, the point I see Galloway making is that there’s a difference between saying “these people aren’t normal but we should afford them the same dignity and respect” and trying to pretend that we are normal to be inclusive at the cost of the truth.

He said more than once that he believes in equality and he has voted to that effect on gay rights. He's more conservative than maybe some of us would prefer, but on the big issues he's 100% right. He is the only person right now representing a sensible alternative to the neo liberal capitalist dogma that everyone else is wedded too (because their corporate pay masters demand it).

    @@EnglishAbundanceI think NM has failed when it decided not to present the level of understanding to what Mr. Galloway said on the interview, but instead concentrated on the linguistics. It decided to overemphasize the form not the content. He has stated on multiple occasions during the interview that he has personally shown only respect and affection to homosexuals and transsexuals. He supported their rights even at times when many did not. The man was even awarded for his contribution in elevating their rights. From what I understood from a related video on his channel, NM also did not respect their agreement on when to publish that interview.I wonder why they mentioned nothing about that. All of the above makes it reasonably clear to me, that NM decided to smear Mr. Galloway. It decided to do the same disrespectful act as the mainstream media is doing to eg Francesca Albanese when putting their own interpretations for that person's words with the aim of "hurting" their reputation. Based on the same interview I am convinced that George Galloway is not homophobic and I cannot see someone coming to that conclusion unless he is so biased and overly sensitive on the matter, or it is in ill faith.

    @@helo6172 Galloway said one of the reasons he didn't want his children taught that "Adam and Steve" was normal, was because if the world were suddenly only populated by gays, our species would die out within two generations. This is homophobia by definition - an irrational fear that doesn't align with reality. 3% of the global population is gay and there is no evidence nor reason to suspect that will dramatically change. Why then ruminate on a wholly fantastical counterfactual whose only effect is prejudice? The rationalising over the very obviously loaded term "normal" here is also pretty hilarious. Even if he meant it as akin to statistical likelihood within populations, when talking about a group that has been treated as other, vilified, violently attacked, murdered, criminalised over history because of a departure from straight hegemony, calling that group "not normal" is woefully poor judgement at best. And it's contradictory to his other objection - "Adam and Steve" shouldn't be considered normal because it's a minority, but he's also scared that gays could become the dominant population, which would then be normal, but then we'd all die, so he doesn't want that either. It's all thoroughly bemusing. The mention of "Adam and Steve" is an obvious homophobic slur, despite his backpedaling attempt to say he meant there probably ARE couples whose names are Adam and Steve. Utterly risible and contemptuous. We all know the line 'God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,' as a way of othering and delegitimising, implying there's something unnatural about homosexuality and therefore not to be accepted by broader society. But perhaps most hilarious of all is the straight people here sermonising on what homophobia is without ever having experienced it or ever having really thought about it. Or even having thought much at all. Lots of 'he's just being honest ', as if honesty is a get-out-of-jail-free-card for offensive remarks; lots of euphemisms like "socially conservative" and "strict religious" views, as they lend respectability to small-minded bigotry. And as for the video going out before the scheduled time, a teaser went out and the full video was released when it was supposed to be. This is pretty common, and this clip was chosen because it's the most divisive. Click bait is right, but he still said the things he said and could only have caused the furore it did because of the content he provided.

And as for this "normal" and "don't want kids sexualised", well one, what's normal? (there's no such thing as normal) and two, no kids are being sexualised or taught anything controversial in schools, unless you think telling kids that LGBT+ people exist. And if you think he is being demonised, you've no idea what truly being demonised is

    He is homophobic, firstly because he claimed that gay relationships are not normal or equal and, secondly, because he equated education about trans and gay people with the sexualisation of children. This evokes on one level an old homophobic trope that gay people are all about sex, furthermore, there's a whiff of another homophobic trope, that of paedophilia. So, no, he is definitely not "for equality for all people of all genders". He said it himself.

    “Respect and affection”. Until it comes time to set the school curriculum, where according to Galloway, kids must be taught to be nice to the gays, but that they’re abnormal and that trans people can’t use this or that bathroom. “I’ll pat you on the head and have you over for dinner, but I won’t give you rights”. Doesn’t seem very respectful to me. Of course he has a right to this view. And the rest of us have a right to say “that’s abhorrent”.

B. What are the moral consequences for the current curriculum C. Whether or not the sex education is even the biggest issue for kids these days. None of you sound informed or in a position to comment. NM guys aren’t speaking from experience of having children in the current school system and don’t have the worries parents have nowadays so they need to un-smug themselves in this area.

    Yes, feel the same extremely disappointed considering what is happening and the behaviour of male trans activists against women. LGB didn't take over rights belonging to any other s*x and try to make them a sub-category of their own s*x as male trans activists have and are trying to.
