I understand your point completely and forgive me if I’m coming off wrong here but I can totally see why someone would be conflicted about this for many, many reasons.

I’m as tankie as they come but he’s doing a good deed here. If he makes people feel safer and accept themselves more as a result I can’t criticise that.
I also actually thought he was already publicly out anyway but that’s maybe just my incredible perceptive superpower

No but just throwing the word ‘nazi’ around is more than a bit ridiculous in this context.

anyway I regret being so harsh with my initial wording, if I was more like a lot of you I would have sat and thought and wrote a more detailed take. Sadly this isn’t how I have ever really used this forum so it doesn’t come natural to me. Sorry about that!

See if we’re gonna talk about anything, we should be talking about THAT.

That’s ok - just do take on board that in a sensitive thread about stuff like race/sexuality/gender it’s better to think before you post :+1:

i have an opinion/question (that is genuine, not a hot take) that i really am not sure how to pose on here without causing another shit storm

Is this something he said? Tbh I don’t know much about Philip Schofield. I’m happy that he feels that he can come out though anyway.
