World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported25m ago
British Defence Minister Wes Streeting has publicly reported receiving a massive influx of homophobic abuse following his appointment to the cabinet post. Streeting, a Labour politician who is openly gay, stated that he has been "inundated" with hostile messages since taking over the portfolio last July.
In media interviews, including an appearance on the podcast Dale All Talk, Streeting attributed the persistent harassment to the fact that certain individuals still struggle to accept his identity and presence in high office. The incidents highlight ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQ+ public figures in prominent political roles.
