Homophobia alive and well at Tory LGBT party where several were kicked out
metro.co.ukBirmingham on Tuesday night.But the annual event was ‘overshadowed by a number of highly offensive, abusive comments’.One man was removed for allegedly calling a gay man a ‘f**’, while another was apparently told to leave after calling two women a ‘dirty lezzer’.
Both are reported to be Conservative members, although this is unverified.Speaking to ITV News, one victim said: ‘We kicked someone out who was blind drunk and called me a dirty lezzer and that I needed to watch my back.
I don’t feel like I morally fit in anymore.’Head of Women for LGBT Conservatives, Jessica Zbinden-Webster, tweeted: ‘A lot of people showed themselves up at the @LGBTCons party last night.
We’re making a list and checking it twice.’Meanwhile, Elena Bunbury, the Chair of LGBT Conservatives, said this afternoon: ‘The abuse my team at @LGBTCons have had tonight is disgusting.‘We’ve run a free event and it’s spoilt by the few that feel the need to to be abusive, not on at all.
