Need to remember that Ann Widdecombe is of a certain generation. This is not being ageist, but recognising that homosexuality was illegal for a good part of her life. It's a big ask to expect all older people to accept such a large and quick change in social attitudes easily.

That is a very fair point. She also has a number of close gay friends.
-
None of whom have come forward to ever defend her - do they exist or has she cured them?

You may not agree with what a person says, but they have the right to express their opinion. We must fight to uphold this right!

Unless someone says they want a 2nd ref of course.

No one is stopping those people from expressing that opinion. We have the right to mock them for it though.

Hopefully
@RidgeOnSunday will get a Muslim on next to discuss their views on homosexuality then we can have a culturally diverse debate rather than pretending that Ann has the only non-woke view. -
I think that’s already well in the public debate space. Birmingham school??

Best you first understand what it is 'exactly' you are disagreeing with. It's a smear campaign and nothing she said was controversial...

She didn't really express an opinion in this interview. She clearly didn't want to go down that road, was pushed and got flustered. She was set up and people are using it regardless. It's yet another attempt to throw mud at

What opinion is she expressing exactly?

Oh, they aren't bothered with the detail...sad reflection on the quality of journalism and columnists.

If I went to my grandmas house and tried explaining, woke identity politics. She would look at me with a blank face. Let’s just remember previous generations didn’t live in today’s fantasy land

I think you might be slightly misunderstanding her opinion. You still might disagree, but from your posts it looks like you aren't quite picking up what she said. Get her on your show, then you can perhaps find out.
