Poor Faye, so good of her to carry on with the shows despite her loss.
Think he's got some catching up to do if he wants the other Ian Watkins to hold his drink.A friend of mine is a massive steps fan, travelled the uk for tour and signings and has been blocked. Safe to say she is fuming
I mean, it's hardly surprising that a gay man doesn't want to see LGBT+ discrimination on his feed, especially considering how many homophobic comments he attracts on his social media as is?#BlockedByHFromSteps has been trending because H has been using software that blocks people based on their views. Basically if you think a woman cannot have a penis he will block you. The same guy who won't have used a trans surrogacy to see how it would have gone down.

Except when he wants to buy babies...I’ve been blocked by H. . He clearly doesn’t subscribe the facts of biology

Like I'm seeing right-wing folk now desperately trying to get him cancelled using the fact Steps weren't getting equal pay back in 1999 as 'proof' he's misogynistic Like no, your real outrage there should be at the record label clearly taking advantage of young women by low-balling them in contract negotiations, as does our culture of not discussing salaries for fear of being 'rude' which only benefits the company in hiding pay gaps. (Not to mention the article they're sharing actually states it was Lee's salary that was twice that of the girls' and doesn't even mention H.)
Anyway I'm glad to see he's taking all this in his stride:

I’ve also been blocked and I am a fierce supporter of trans rights, and lgbtq+ rights in general so I’m just baffled! It’s really not fair that now, genuine fans have been blocked. He never said anything I was particularly interested in but it’s not a nice feeling.Well I've been blocked by H and I support trans rights Hate how polarising the debate is on both sides.
Love all the tea and anecdotes!
If you read my post, I was saying that the overly right-wing folk were the ones somehow blaming H for Steps' salaries in 1999, just desperate to find something to be mad about The current transphobia in the UK unfortunately is very similar to the homophobia that was prevailant just a few decades earlier - it's the same idea of othering, the same arguments painting a group as 'dangerous' or 'deviant' under the guise of 'protecting' people/children from 'immoral practices'. Section 28 (which made it illegal for schools to "promote the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship" or even make kids aware that gay people existed) was still law within my lifetime and I'm only in my 20s Not wishing to derail this thread with gender arguments but there's a reason H himself only publically came out in 2007, not 1997. Just because we more openly accept homosexuality now doesn't mean we can pretend it was always accepted both socially and legally to this extent.I am not remotely right wing but IMVHO, women cannot have penises, men cannot have vaginas and gender ideology is terrifying and dehumanising for women's very existence. Do not conflate this with homophobia as they are in no way similar.
