A series of posts spanning from 2009 to 2014 expose an array of problematic views from Normal, who is best known for creating the ‘La’ t-shirts inspired by It’s a Sin.

These included the repeated use of a derogatory term used to describe transgender people, as well as comparing Muslim women to “penguins”.

Some of his tweets even appeared to acknowledge the vile nature of his words, as in May 2014 he wrote about his frustration over not being able to say what he wants on certain social media platforms. “You can’t say T****Y on Facebook anymore but you can on twitter. #T****Y,” he explained.

Responding to someone who questioned what he means, he said: “They’re removing posts apparently with the word T****Y.” “T****Y is our word,” Normal added in a follow up tweet on the same day. “We’ve used it in London for years.” Following fierce backlash for the posts after they first reemerged on 11 January, Normal took to Twitter two days later to confirm that he had resigned from his post in Lambeth. “I have today resigned as a Lambeth councillor and a Lambeth Labour candidate for Oval ward,” he wrote. “I want to apologise again to everyone who I have caused deep hurt and pain to due to my past social media posts.” The post Philip Normal resigns as Labour councillor over racist, transphobic and Islamophobic tweets appeared first on GAY TIMES.
