Labour MP office vandalised with homophobic graffiti
 

A Labour MP’s office has been vandalised for the second time in a week, with homophobic graffiti spray-painted on the windows and walls.

The graffiti accused Luke Pollard, the MP for Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport, of being a “pedo”.

Pollard, who is gay, said the word was a “common slur against gay people” and asked the culprit to “sit down and talk” to him in a video posted on Twitter.

Some really thick and ignorant people out there.:fist:

Why is pedo a homophobic slur?..

I was wondering that - if the claim is unfounded, then it's obviously unacceptable. But I don't see how it's related to him being gay.

Are you for real? You dont know some people think all gays are pedos?
See my answer above

I've literally never heard that tbh.

edit: just seen Dezzy's post. Must be an outdated thing, I guess the "writer" of the graffiti was old.

Or maybe you showed ignorance. This myth persists even if unexpressed.

When was the last time you heard it?

That's a bit harsh... I'd never heard it either :/ If youve never experienced something it's not showing ignorance to question how or why it happens.
It would be ignorant to deny it happens as I'd never encountered it.
