Katie Hopkins has called on Pride events to protest Islamic homophobia.
Taking to Twitter today, the controversial commentator Katie Hopkins said that Prides needed to do more to “protest Islamic homophobia”.
no targeting. Was an open q. I think Pride needs to do more to protest Islamic homophobia

The statement comes a day after she questioned her 802,000 followers on whether a pride event had ever been banned in the London borough of Tower Hamlets. The question was asked after a follower of hers alleged that a pride parade had been banned by the local authority.
In 2011 the Census revealed that over 30 percent of the borough’s population was Muslim.
In 2016, a poll conducted by ICM for the Channel 4 programme, What British Muslims Really Think, found that over half of Muslims in the UK thought that homosexuality should illegal. Twenty-three percent also said that they wanted the introduction of Sharia law in the UK.
Islamophobia and Homophobia
Earlier this month the East London mosque complained to Pride in London over banners displayed in its Parade by members of the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain which it called “offensive”.
Organisers of the pride said that it would “not tolerate Islamophobia”.
Homosexuality is currently banned in over 70 countries and 10 have the death penalty for homosexual acts. Homosexuality is illegal in most Muslim-majority countries.
Christians should do more against homophobia…
I’ve literally never had any issues online or in real life with Muslim people about my sexuality Christians on the other hand, well that’s a different story….
She’s right though don’t understand how this is wrong name me one Islamic country where you can be gay freely and not be murdered or arrested
WHY DOESNT SHE DO IT HER MOUTHS BIG ENOUGHT SILLY COW
Couldn’t agree with her more on this…
As if any of us give a tuppenny fuck about her opinion.
74 muslim countries have made gay acts ILLEGAL ?
Well, she’s right. We can’t even point out Islamic homophobia anymore without being labeled racist or Islamophobic!
Why can’t she just shut the fcuk up and go make bread for the rest of her pointless days ?
She’s 100% right. Why does the gay community pretend that Muslim majority countries/people are friendly or even accepting towards gay people?
Pride isn’t intended to be your political pawn.
that’s real rich coming from Hatie Knobskins
Katie Hopkins. The homophobic witch who’s now using us as a way to rebuild herself. Kindly piss off love.
Agreed with her on this but we would all be called racists
May be because you uncritically laud a racist like her?
There are people of colour holding regressive left right and centre accountable. THEY need the spotlight not some fame hungry ignorant buffoon.
I question her motives. She has never been for our rights before. https://www.thegayuk.com/comment-false-gay-icons-good…/
Katie Hopkins can only be an Alt Right icon. Lol.
LGBTQI Movement is ROOTED in progressive politics , intersectionality and compassion. Once she acquires that in her hateful DNA (hint: never) she can come join us.
Why doesn’t she ask the Gay Muslims group who were a part of the parade in London three weeks ago?
She’s right though don’t understand how this is wrong name me one Islamic country where you can be gay freely and not be murdered or arrested
The Rochdale paedophile ring should have been the wake up call we all needed. Sadly, so many use that pathetic silencing word, “islamophobia”
Whether she is right or wrong, her motive matters as well.
When Le Penn refused to wear a head covering she was lauded, because the Right so desperately wanted people to forget what vile waste of space she is. Yes, we need to do more LGBTQI directed hatred but the last person who needs to be talking about it is Katie Hopkins …. as if progressives in and out of the Islamic world are not talking about it. But wait, yet again some ignorant moron suffering from white saviour syndrome makes the headline than PoC. ?
If you can’t see her agenda behind these statements reeking of lip service then… ??
SHES RIGHT! 10 islamic countries kill/murder/slaughter gays just because it is against their prejudiced religion! Yet no one marches for this as it does fit the Left wing islam hugging loonies! Islam=dead gays. Fact.
She needs to shut the fuck up about things that don’t concern her to be frank.
Maybe she should give the platform she’s just abused in this instance, to a real gay Muslim and ask them how and what we could do to help.
