Longtime Neo-Nazi Denounces Movement, Comes Out As Gay And Jewish | HuffPost
Wow. Talk about a confused guy.
For 40 years, Kevin Wilshaw was a member of the National Front, a far-right and fascist group based in the United Kingdom.
Wilshaw was also a bundle of contradictions: a man who professed hatred of Jews though he was Jewish on his mother’s side, and a gay man in an organization that publicly denounces homosexuality.
Earlier this year, Wilshaw quit the ultra-right movement and told Britain’s Channel 4 News why he chose to do so.
Part of it was because he’d experienced prejudice and bigotry himself.
“On one or two occasions in the recent past, I’ve actually been the recipient of the very hatred of the people I want to belong to,” Wilshaw told Channel 4. “If you’re gay, it is acceptable in society, but with these group of people it’s not acceptable. And I found on one or two occasions when I was suspected of being gay, I was subjected to abuse.”
Wow. Talk about a confused guy.
