1. > right-leaning party flirts with intolerance

   Wow, who knew?

2. If you are wondering why a “fan” group is news:

   >One member – a Conservative Councillor – suggested the [NHS](https://archive.is/o/Bwdj5/https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/nhs) shouldn’t pay for IVF for gay couples, because it is a “lifestyle treatment”.

   The Tory activist, also chairs a Conservatives for Women group, said “We could save a lot of money if we stopped some of the lifestyle treatments. Why does the NHS pay for IVF for gay men for example?
   […]
   The Conservatives’ new Director of Strategy, Rachel Maclean, was an admin of the group.

   It’s not “fans”, it’s Tories.

3. Fans is an interesting way to put Conservative councillors and the head of strategy for Kemi and the Tory party.

4. Am I homophobic now for not thinking gay couples should get NHS IVF?

5. A fan club so large they can almost fill a Reliant Robin

6. Qué surprise, I can only imagine the utter tripe that is on similar conservative gtoups

7. Tories aren’t even going to be the opposition party soon .
   I swear they’re doing it on purpose.

   Fucking good riddance.

8. She would be first to complain about similar issues like race if it was brought up. But she won’t understand that… Homophobia is ok.

   Labour should turn her intolerance around and proclaim that she is the DEI hire for the conservatives and under normal circumstances she wouldn’t have got the job

10. > WhatsApp official support group.

    What?

    Is this discord for boomers or something?

11. She’s mocked gay marriage so they are only following her example

12. How do you spread homophobic messages about someone who’s not gay?

    “I know he’s not gay, but if he was then I’d hate Keir Starmer for being gay.”

13. Woman who somehow sat under Equalities at one point and used it to attack lgbt+ people has homophobic fans. Consider me shocked.

14. I don’t think gay men are currently entitled to IVF on the NHS (or if they are depending on the care board will probably be after numerous other hurdles to jump through). Even if there are some edge cases where they do get it, then as a total of NHS funding it will be vanishingly small as opposed to any sizeable figure. Also wouldn’t it be a lifestyle choice for any couple which has it? Seems a warped view of reality.

15. Remember Activhate? That lasted 48 hours before the nepoboy they enlisted to run it discovered and failed to stop rampant prejudice behind the scenes. It’s Tory culture.

16. Yet more desperate deflection from Lanours incompetence and is he a gay boy- ask his estranged wife
