Really? It’s nothing to do with getting up in morning. Even other parties like SD have called it out as referencing sexuality.
The tweet sent by Mr Stanley following Mr Varadkar’s election as leader of Fine Gael read “Yippee 4 d tory. it’s Leo. U can do what u like in bed but don’t look 4 a pay rise the next morning”.
Sinn Fein have created this culture. It’s not good for anybody but they can’t start the game and then run away when they don’t like where it goes.
As I’ve said I can see why they call it homophobic for political advantage but it’s not really. The racism however is just as serious and Simon says it’s in there. Where ?
To me that looks like Stanley is saying that Fine Gael are using a liberal stance on social issues such as gay marriage - a stance which is popular with young people - to mask a general anti-worker stance. Which is a fair enough point of view. It’s done in an inarticulate way but it doesn’t reference Varadkar’s sexuality and to call it homophobic seems to me to be nonsense.
You should have to pass a spelling and grammar test to be a public representative. Imagine an elected individual composing that tweet, regardless of the content of it
