Tory mayor resigns after apologising for attending LGBTQ+ event

What an absolute bigoted tit.
It takes a special level of stupid to expect to pick up the plaudits for being inclusive, then also attempt to pick them up from the hard-liners of a 7th century religion, and not have both of them go "wtf mate?!"

You can't really be an honest politician and have views like this.

Perfect way to show yourself to be a hypocrite who is driven by the opinions of others. If you don't support LGBTQ+ rights, don't go to the event. If you do support them, don't apologise for going. You can't have it both ways. He's literally trying to demonstrate two mutually exclusive views at the same time to get both groups to like him.
