Trolls send me hateful homophobic abuse everyday – I’m a protective shield for my kids, says Steps’ Ian ‘H’ Watkins
STEPS singer Ian 'H' Watkins revealed he's targeted by hateful homophobic trolls everyday. The pop star, 46, is a proud gay man and single parent to twin boys Macsen and Cybi, six.
He isn't afraid to confront bigotry on his social media accounts and hopes by doing so it will educate those who hold offensive views.
But while H has broad shoulders when it comes to the vile torrent of abuse sent his way, he draws a line when his children are mentioned.
In an exclusive interview with the Sun, he said: "I've learnt to grow a thick skin, but I'm only human. What really gets to me, and I will always speak up, is when they question my parenting or bring my children into it because social media is a vicious place, it really is. "It would be nice to have some laws in place to stop that happening, but I don't think that's going to happen." Read More on The SunMAMMA MIA!
