LGBT+ Labour members said to be driven out by 'homophobic takeover' [View all]
LGBT+ Labour Party members in an east London borough are being driven out by “homophobic bullying,” a local councillor has told PinkNews.
Rohit Dasgupta, Labour councillor for Canning Town South, said that he and his peers have been made to feel “unsafe and intimidated” by a “homophobic” faction of the West Ham Labour Party.
“I had been the local party’s LGBT+ officer for two years,” he said.
“There has been a distinct change in dynamics with lots of new members joining in the last year or so from faith groups.”
Dasgupta said that the influx of new members have voiced their opposition to LGBT-inclusive relationship education and their support for so-called gay conversion therapy.
