Esther McVey’s bad take on the LGBT+ schools row earned her these 13 clapbacks

Parents can't have the "final say on what they want their children to know", otherwise you don't have an education system. This is just McVey bidding for the gay-bashing vote among the Tory base (and I do mean 'base'). https://t.co/5lLsoc9haw

Dear @EstherMcVey,

The child of anti-gay parents is as likely to be gay as the child of any other parents. Your demands hand the power to homophobic adults to stop their kids understanding and feeling safe in themselves. That is profoundly wrong.pic.twitter.com/MVaBbh1K2u

How many stories do we have to hear from queer kids with homophobic or transphobic parents to get that this really isn't true https://t.co/rtcY6BVKGj

Those of us who grew up with Section 28 – when we were denied any education about who we are, in a society riddled with homophobia – suffered because of it. That a Conservative leadership candidate wants to turn back the clock tells us everything you need to know about the Tories https://t.co/wfNhsCOevb

Comedian and actor, Rob Delaney, had this insight that just blew Esther McVay’s stance apart.

I’m a parent and I’m a fucking moron
