Doesn't matter, they'll swear up and down either way that they didn't, and it's such a regrettable blah, blah, blah [insert more ass-covering press copy here].

Which is the problem. This guy made very little attempt to hide this shit. So either they have to admit they hired him, knowing full well what his views were. Or that they didn't do the slightest bit of research before making him a trustee

This is going to have far reaching consequences beyond Mermaids. He's written for Pink News, he's employed at LSE, Sally Hines of refusing to even be on the same panel as Kathleen Stock fame has chaired panels where he's spoken.

Imagine if it was Pink News and Mermaids that set back gay rights by giving actual ammo to the “gays are all predatory paedos” crowd. The libel that was just starting to die off, gets reinvigorated by these guys, crazy.

If PN were self-aware they would be putting out lots of content throwing both this paedo-apologist and Mermaids under the bus. Wonder if OJ will say anything.

I think the Pink News crowd are so removed from normal people they really believe that if the "all gays are paedos" thing appeared again they would just be have to scream "homophobia" at everyone to shut it down.
