Oluwaseyi Omooba had been due to play gay role in UK show before comments were shared

An actor playing a gay character in a stage production of the Color Purple has been sacked over homophobic comments she made five years ago.

What she said is not homophobic.

Good!

Priceless

Maybe she gay and wanna hide it

My faith in humanity has been restored. We will do anything for the money.

Five years ago FFS.

Not very intersectional, will this actress end up in prison? At least a stern non-criminal chat by the police, that could end up with a conviction? Will she be spared that because of her tan and genitalia. Who fucking knows in clown Britain.

The sad thing is, she may have grown since then, she looks young. So she may understand more now.

Oh fuck, I’m so lucky to have been raised to open my mind to others. To try to put myself into their shoes. Not to just follow a path without question. Religion has a lot to answer for.

Well if we are going to be pedantic, it should be actress.

Good for her, we’re an open society.

Amazing good

Victim of a kangaroo court

The new rule is that you must hide what you really think to fit in with what everybody else thinks otherwise they will punish you in some way. First you have to work out what the moral majority says you must think, not too difficult.

She not entitled to here view? you dont have to like what she says but we should defend her right to say/think it.
