LGBT News UKIP MEP who said homophobia doesn’t exist complains about ‘UKIP-phobia’

Yep, more UKIP bull**** that I'm only putting on here because you have to know what people in a party that somehow got more votes than anyone else in the UK in the EU election.

He wrote in a blog post in 2009, while a Conservative: “Let me point out that the neologism ‘homophobia’ is not so much a word as a political agenda. In psychiatry, a phobia is defined as an irrational fear.

“I have yet to meet anyone who has an irrational fear of homosexuals, or of homosexuality.

“So to the extent that the word has any meaning at all, it describes something which simply does not exist.

“‘Homophobia’ is merely a propaganda device designed to denigrate and stigmatise those holding conventional opinions, which have been held by most people through most of recorded history.”

Mr Helmer was UKIP’s candidate in last year’s Newark by-election, where he came second behind the Conservatives despite a string of anti-gay comments.

In October, the married MEP called for “privacy” after it was revealed he had visited a “sleazy” massage parlour.

Despite appealing for his own private life, Mr Helmer has sought to interfere in the private lives of millions of gay couples on several occasions, claiming that he should be able to dislike gay people in the same way as different types of tea.

Yet another reason why I hate people...

It goes to show you that there's still crazies out there, even in some of the most progressive places in the world.

And the fear of UKIP is not rational?

I still can't believe that UKIP are becoming so popular in the UK.

I've heard so many times how ukip is the best way for the UK but I'm not sure how a homophobic and racist group of people could even be considered for leadership
