I just want to have an opinion without being attacked…
John said that he was brought up to believe that being gay was a bad thing. John was born in 1963. Homosexuality became legal in 1967 I think.
I think that what John meant was that he still has a memory in his head of this perception. In his VT, he said that he was against all forms of discrimination, including homophobia.
I was born in 1992, and I remember being told at primary school by a teacher that “if a boy’s favourite colour is pink, there is something wrong with him” (I would say that this would by around 2000) going home and saying this to my maw and she told me to ignore what she said. I have grown up to be a teaching assistant myself and the kids are taught that love is love, regardless of sexuality. The one thing that grates on me rn is people comparing John Barnes to Winston McKenzie and in some cases saying that Winston is better. That is extreme.
