“On Saturday 3rd April the EDL went to Dudley in the centre of the Britain, where the opinions of 22,000 local people were ignored by central government, and a new Mega Mosque is to be built. The supporters of this mosque claim the £18 million required to build it has come from local donations, but critics of it say that would mean that £50,000 was donated per muslim in Dudley. This just does not add up. So just like the EDL supported Geert Wilders’s visit to the UK 4 weeks ago, this week we went to Dudley.
I have been to the English Defence League demos at London, Bolton and Dudley, and I’m a member of the EDL gay division (LGBT division). Before Geert Wilders’ visit to London, I had not been on any EDL demos. I wasn’t sure myself if the EDL was truly supportive of gay rights when I joined, but I knew I had to find some counter-jihad group to support. The EDL LGBT division was only set up after the Wilders/Free Speech demo in London.
On doing my own research I found statements and photos going back to September 2009 (http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.4398/pub_detail.asp) showing EDL supported gay people against sharia. This support from the EDL for people like me, when there was no overt support for the EDL amongst the gay community, has fired my involvement. One month later and there are over 100 members of the LGBT division. It turned out there were many lesbian and gay people who were supporting EDL, they just weren’t organized as one identifiable group.
The EDL is the only group in the UK that is taking action to defend gay people from the threats of execution coming from the “sharia judges” in the UK. I’m proud to say, I’ve never met a group of more dedicated, intelligent and patriotic people. It is no surprise that islamists and the so-called Unite Against Fascism (UAF) communists are running scared. Of course, the media are determined to show only a narrow view of the people who support EDL, and have never reported what EDL stand for. Many more gay people are opposed to the islamization of the UK, but are wary of a demo where there might be violence – I’m convinced the media try to portray EDL as violent in an attempt to scare people away. I really am a stereotypical urban homo, and I’ve never been in a fight. Yet I’ve never felt remotely threatened on an EDL demo. More gay people and more moderate muslims are welcome in the EDL.
