Policeman proposed to boyfriend at Gay Pride 2016 regrets it

#jaiyeorie

A police officer who proposed to his boyfriend at London's Gay Pride 2016 has said he wished he could take back his decision to make a public proposal after the video went viral and awful comments with homophobes wishing them dead.


Phil wrote in The Guardian wishing he never made the public proposal due to the homophobic slurs made online.

He said:

"I looked through the online comments from the British public. Most were fantastic. But my smile did not last long as I continued reading."

 
"Both should be hanged till death," one comment read and another went: "don't blame ISIS if they strike them".
"A further hostile reaction at work from one of my colleagues and another from an old college friend was enough for me to wish I had never done it."


"Despite all this, I know I am lucky. I am lucky to live in a time when I can join the police service as an openly gay man – and I have previous generations to thank for that. But even among young people in Britain today, my story is far from unique."  DROP A COMMENT COMMENTS ................. ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
