'Just because we're outraged by her views it doesn't mean everyone will be, and more importantly there will be some who'll take her words at face value.'

Responding on Twitter, the group said: ‘We’ve been getting some justified criticism today on social media for posting a billboard of Ann Widdecombe’s homophobic views.‘Just because we’re outraged by her views it doesn’t mean everyone will be, and more importantly there will be some who’ll take her words at face value.

‘If it’s causing pain and anger to those directly affected by homophobia it’s totally counterproductive.’ Plenty of Twitter users thanked the group for listening to their point of view and for their ‘classy response’ and ‘heartfelt’ apology.She should be called out on her views, for sure. They are abhorrent and disgusting. I don't think the poster did that though. It helped circulate views I'm sure she's happy to be associated with.But they would vote for her anyway wouldn’t they.

Isn't the poster itself a hate crime ?

If it can be backed up with evidence then why should it be removed? And if no then by all means remove it!!
