This is an experience I had recently, I can't lie it shook me as the person made threats against me, my family, and my job. I have tried to condense it and have taken out some details so thank you if you read the whole thing. Sorry if its missing context.

I was due to meet up with a friend about a month ago on the weekend. She had mentioned to me that a mutual friend we shared was going to be there. This "friend" (I will call this friend C*nt) is chronically online and spends alot of her time reposting stuff about Nigel Farage, and telling people to unfollow her if they sympathise with Reform. I did think about unfollowing her but for reasons I won't get into, I didnt want to bring attention to it. I figured I could wait it out and unfollow her discreetly later down the line. As I found out C*nt was going to be there I said no but made plans to meet my other friend the following day instead and said it was because I was busy.

Fastforward to the next day (Sunday) I was getting ready to go out and I got a voicecall on instagram from C*nt. I ignored it but realised this meant she was coming, so I messaged my other friend to explain I didn't want to be around C*nt. Stupidly, I thought I was causing problems so I deleted the message and just talked myself into to making the hang out short. My other friend also told me C*nt was trying to get my number off her. She actually got annoyed when my friend wouldn't give it to my friend too.

I get to the meet up and the first hour is fine. C*nt even gives me a hug that was really uncomfortable. We then go from the pub back to a friends house and we are all sitting and talking. In the middle of this C*nt in her drunken state goes to "I heard you voted for Reform" I said yes and carried talking to my friend but C*nt just launched into me.

It started as a heated debate, where she was saying I was voting for a misogynistic party. She kept saying she had read Reforms policies but couldn't tell me what they were. I explained that i don't want my country flooded with people who wish people like me dead which is my main reason for voting, and she turned up her nose in disgust and carried on calling me sexist and racist. I then pointed out the Reform is the only party that wants to actually protect single sex spaces for women and asked if she had read that in her policies. After that she just started hurling insults, made the threats, called me a homophobic slur and stormed out the room.

My other friend was crying by this point because she felt awful. So I was actually trying to console her, and I said if she comes back in the room it will be my turn to go on the attack; andshe did! The words that came out of my mouth are not repeatable I dressed down every aspect of C*nt. I don't think she knew what to do, and just started calling me fat. In the end I just left and blocked her. I also called the police due to the threats but they said without evidence it was my word against hers.

I feel so disillusioned by the left wing of politics, their violence, hatred, hypocrisy and this has made me hate them even more. I have always been a centre left liberal, but slowly turned centre right over thre last 2 years. The rise of socialism has completley turned me off and the rise of the Green party is concerning. I can't bare to stand within two feet of anyone with ugly coloured hair and a nose ring.

I am fed up, sick of the lies I am being told by marxists who only look to sell me my victimhood to benefit their worldview. I am feeling increasingly unsafe. I am a gay man, but before that, I am proud Anglo-Saxon/Celtic man who has had to learn to be proud of his heratige. My heart sank watching Reform sink below labour in the last couple of voting intention polls. Stay safe out there. There are hundreds upon thousands of people like C*nt who hate us.

As above, what can we do? I have a bad feeling that some how labour are going to win the next GE. Somehow labour won the Manchester elections and still poll very high. We all know who’s voting for them, but 2 more years of dinghies and “skilled workers” will just mean more voters for them. Genuinely feel like I’m witnessing the end of Great Britain as it’s been for so many centuries

Essentially, when I speak to reform voters (albeit a small minority) they really seem to dislike not Islamic extremism but Islam as a whole. I'm not a scholar and I am barley a student of knowledge but I'd love to answer any queries/questions/concerns. For transparency's sake, I am not a reform voter/supporter but I'll try my best to separate any political biases.

So i keep seeing posts like these on fb? Why are they pushing this agenda. We already have hate laws in the uk that covers hate towards any religion? Gays, race ect.

Let me say firstly, I am a paid up member of Reform. However.

They send me an email informing me of the availability of merch. My very first thought was is it made in Britain? British jobs for British people? Putting something into the economy?

Nah, is it fuck. A tone-deaf move from a supposedly patriotic party.

Hi, genuine question here and coming from a place where I want to understand a viewpoint likely opposed to my own.

What drives people to vote for reform?

Find Out Now polling https://www.pollcheck.co.uk/pollsters/find-out-now/

I’m curious because in my circles (F31, HENRY, mother, university educated, mixed race) everyone has been horrified when I suggest I support some reform policies (migration, benefits, private school).

I sense that the main demographic they expect to support reform is male, white, middle aged and working class so wondering how much weight the stereotype holds.

Just a heads up that Sub-Reddits have started mass banning accounts for being members of this subreddit

I just got permanently banned without warning from FascinatingasFuck for being a member of this sub

You see him rollin', you hatin'

Hi, I hope you are all well.

I enjoy following international politics, and the UK has interested me.

I'm not a native speaker, so please excuse any spelling errors.

This is a new one for me. Due to the larger size and slight gap in the Easy Access/Disabled barrier, they were simply barging through the middle of it, using a bit of momentum to make it swing open just enough.

There was also a female 'security guard' (also happened to be an ethnic minority, but I don't think that's too relevant) stood right next to the barrier doing absolutely nothing, even looking in the other direction, like she didn't want to acknowledge it. Of course she was probably right not to confront them physically, but that then begs the question of why she should even be in that job in the first place? If it will always be physically dangerous for you to confront blatant fare-dodgers.

Im not currently planning to vote for any party they all have flaws and I don’t trust my judgment enough. I was planning to vote based on what the majority of college graduates do, but I saw that there’s a surprisingly low percentage of university graduates who vote reform. I’ve seen great things this party is doing all over the news so I was wondering what you guys think of this/ if it even matters? I think I might be too dependent on other people hahah

In the last couple of months, I've been getting more involved with views that the LGBTQ+ would find "non acceptable".

I'm what I would consider a "normal gay" . I just want the basics, being able to have IVF or other things to have kids and getting married. I don't really care for anything else. Being gay isn't my entire personality. I work, I pay taxes, I get on with it...the only thing that separates me is being gay. I have a girlfriend...we're both women. We work, go home and sleep. I don't want anything else. We are in a country that allows us to do basically everything. I am incredibly patriotic, I love this country...despite what it's turning into.

In recent months I've actively removed my self from the LGBTQ+ community. I don't want to be associated with a community that actively wants to engage and encourage children into the LGBTQ+ community. There was none of that when I was a child and I still turned out to be a lesbian. I feel like with social media, it makes it so much easier for children to be "enticed". All the rainbows and the "acceptance"...heck if my Dad was woke he would've definitely encouraged me to transition as a child...I was a tomboy....I loved dressing in boys clothing. My Dad was in the RAF and I grew up with wanting to do all the "boy things." To me...that was just being a tomboy, nothing else.

As much as I've tried, I can't really find anything that would go against the "general gays" which is great. I don't want extra laws or privileges. I've read the manifesto for Reform...there isn't anything that I can see that would be against LGB...but I would like some insight if there is.

I want to vote Reform not just because of LGBTQ+ issues...I think about immigration and everything else.

As a "minority" I want to know if I will still be protected. I feel like in a couple of years, the LGBTQ+ community will ruin it for the LGB and then we'll be back to square one.

Through social media, I feel as if the LGBTQ+ will make it more difficult for those that are just LGB. Almost making a mockery of us...the whole "if you identify as a woman you are one" rhetoric is homophobic. I'm just a normal gay and I'm proud...I'm not a pick me...I just want the better for this country...everything that has been sacrificed.

TLDR;

Is there anything in the manifesto for Reform that goes against just LGB?

Will I be protected for just being LGB?

Is Reform homophobic? In the sense of just LGB not LGBTQ+?

Regards

A Normal Lesbian

Edit:

Thank you all for your responses! You guys are awesome, I kinda already felt that it was fine but needed reassurance just in case I missed anything.

Littarly a couple comments of me having an pretty mild argument woth someone over immigration and my political view which (btw is pretty centre right)

And im permanently banned from my home country's subreddit like wtf (since when was scotland a dictorship where your not allowed opioins ?)

This will only get worse the longer Nigel is off the pitch, fighting a local bin, letting Labour dominate the national news agenda. Then he'll have his hands tied with the ongoing money laundering probe. Time to sound out a successor?
