The MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport posted an adorable photo of himself and his partner, Sydney, to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Although the photo was met with thousands of likes from Pollard’s supporters, the anti-LGBTQ+ brigade came out in full force to criticise the “age gap” between them. “F***ing dirty nonce,” said one disgusting user, while another felt the need to reply: “This is surely a wind up and it’s actually a father and son picture?
The age gap has to be 30 years.” According to Pollard, Sydney was also targeted by racists for his Chinese heritage. However, hundreds came to Pollard’s defence to celebrate their love as two consenting adults, while highlighting the lack of criticism afforded to their straight counterparts
