Weird how Ann Widdecombe has such faith in science when using it for vile homophobia but not when being a bonkers irrational climate change denier.

Problem with a pill that changes your sexuality is everyone would be using it to make themselves queer coz we're awesome and we don't have the infrastructure to deal with the influx. https://t.co/EkAzoVQzCr

You know what? Fuck Anne Widdecombe, she’s the least funny Widdicombe, and she’s an actual textbook fascist. Fuck her tiny mind, and fuck anyone who helps legitimise her, who thinks debating with her is in anyones interest, or who employs her.

Science HAS produced an answer to being gay. The answer is, "some people are gay, now fuck off you prejudiced old termagant".https://t.co/FWhbonN8mK

Scientists are working around the clock to calculate the size of the giant fuck nobody gives about Ann Widdecombe’s opinion on anything.
