piece.

http://www.towleroad.com/2018/02/daily-mail-tom-daley/
A growing list of companies are pulling ads from Britains Daily Mail following a homophobic column by Richard Littlejohn blasting Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black for sharing an ultrasound photo of their baby on Valentines Day and having the gall to raise a child.

Said Littlejohn in the article: I supported civil partnerships long before it was fashionable and Id rather children were fostered by loving gay couples than condemned to rot in state-run institutions, where they face a better-than-average chance of being abused.That said, and despite the fact that countless single parents do a fantastic job, I still cling to the belief that children benefit most from being brought up by a man and a woman. Please dont pretend two dads is the new normal

He added: What I also find slightly disconcerting is that this story was reported virtually everywhere without so much as a raised eyebrow, as if it would be impolite even to ask any questions about the parentage. For instance, is Daley or his husband the father? Was it Bill, or was it Ben? Or neither of them? More pertinently, never mind Whos The Daddy? Whos The Mummy?

Among the companies that have taken action after being called out for advertising with the Daily Mail on Twitter: Natwest, Centre Parcs, Southbank Centre, and EA (Electronic Arts).

Jesus christ that man is ignorant. It's 2018 and you still have people like this who spout archaic garbage that is incongruous with not only the changing times, but the studies that show that kids raised by gay parents fare just fine.

Yeah, Daily Mail has always been a joke.

It's nothing more than sensationalism and speculation. Veracity matters very little.

You have the right to remain silent, anything you post will be misquoted, then used against you.

Not in the slightest tbh. Britain might be more left than America in general, but daily mail is your typical blame immigrants, make stories up pile of rubbish news

Nope.

Right-leaning tabloid trash

Or at least, right-leaning by British standards

im amazed that managed to get published even in the daily mail tbh.

like most of their more awful views involve alarmist stuff about immigrants or socialism or w/e...seems a bit too old stylee religious conservative to have anybody, even if it is just one writer, go off on same sex couples/parents.

I didnt see anything homophobic in the excerpts from the article.

Crass and douchy, yes, but not homophobic. Is there any more damaging excerpts that they were dumb enough to not post, or is this it?

Dear God, where the hell did you get that notion?! You'd have Daily Mail readers spluttering and frothing with venomous fury if you were to label them "left-leaning".

There was a dude on UK celebrity big brother who had said in an interview that he felt same sex parenting was child abuse. When the rest of the house found out, everyone was disgusted by him and confronted him. He said that gay couples adopting kids was "unfair to the child because the child has no say in the matter."

My initial response was "because all other children have a say in who their parents are..."

I got that notion too. I just get a sense of left-bias in articles I've read. I don't really even take the site very seriously as a source.

That's probably more to do with Britain as a whole being much more left leaning than America.

Heck, our right side party is probably more liberal than America's democrats in many way.

Yeah, that's pretty damn ignorant and he's somewhat contradicting himself.


I see nothing wrong with that statement.
