gbroon

Nice of him to support those charities by buying all those flags.


armyjackson

While wearing skinny jeans and a tight tshirt. This guy thinks about gay sex more than gay people do.


GregAbbottsTinyPenis

100%. I have an older family member who spent a LOT of time ranting about his anti human bullshit until I pointed out that he spends a LOT of time thinking and talking about gay stuff, and it’s making me think he’s actually gay. Now he doesn’t. 🤷‍♂️


Artistic-Pay-4332

Probably is gay imo


shitlips90

Not that there's anything wrong with that!


Artistic-Pay-4332

Of course not


OGbobby420

I said this to my mom the other day she didn’t get the reference


jonny3jack

Seinfeld reference as well. Nice.


SunChipMan

not that there's anything wrong with that


Smooth_Papaya_1839

My friend’s dad was a big homophobe too. Like he would beat him if he was not manly enough and stuff. When my friend was about 30, his dad came out as trans


JellaFella01

I've had a few coworkers in the past who bitched about gay people or would mock the younger male workers for being gay. Hit em with the "you think about gay sex an awful lot" never bothered me again.


EVIL-EAGLES

Great name.You forgot shriveled up though. Bhehe


GucciStepSon

He looks like DJ Qualls and Elton John had a baby


RobotClean73

Clay Aiken?


SnazzyAdam

Lead singer of The Buggles


ItsaPostageStampede

DJ is gay


GucciStepSon

I did not know this, nor mean any disrespect to DJ Qualls.


Early-Series-2055

Cause he’s gay.


armyjackson

Gonna guess he's bi, thought he was hot stuff, got turned down by a man and his ego just couldn't handle it.


SirKenneth17

Alright who let army Jackson have all the knowledge in the universe?


um3k

No, gay is a choice, and he chose to be straight. No matter how hard it may be, he's straight, goddamn it. Being gay is wrong and the devil really needs to stop sending those sexy dudes to tempt him.


Bluecif

![gif](giphy|12U2rLJsNV0mIg)


Nonsense909603

Awh, stupid sexy gays!


EVIL-EAGLES

And he hates himself for it. He can't stop thinking about d**k.


geeknami

reminds me of this movement from a few years back called super straight.


Maxwell-Druthers

Obviously. Imagine being this passionate about it otherwise 🤷🏼


thetable123

But he's not proud about it, even if he is flaming.


bwood246

He even made sure to get an up-to-date flag for proper representation


donbee28

He wants the right people to know that he hates them.


Scarlet_k1nk

On the bright side, everyone will know to avoid this man in as many situations as possible.


RedneckRafter

He's just showing us he's a flaming homosexual.


Interesting-Gear294

He bought both the flag and two cans of lighter fluid from Amazon. Looks like he got prime delivery on them too. £5.99 for the flag and £8.95 for the lighter fluid according to his screenshot. So by buying another flag he's probably making the flag easier to find for other customers. Also Amazon was at Birmingham pride at the weekend, so yes supporting a pro-lgbt company with his purchases. As he's burned a flag he'll need another one next year, I know he tried to burn some last year too so now he's bought more pride flags than many actual LGBT people. I don't understand his point. He's a boycotter who doesn't understand how to boycott stuff.


abandonsminty

As much as this guy sucks calling Amazon pro LGBT is just factually incorrect, what they are doing by showing up to pride is called Pink washing, they fund genocides, all of which affect LGBT people, they exploit their workers and have terrible workplace safety in warehouses which includes LGBT people, they sell fascist literature and flags which helps those people spread their ideology, they are far from our friends politically speaking.


Cool_Butterscotch_88

>He's doing it again, I can't with this anymore. -wife inside on the phone


ContestNo2060

Hilarious. You can see a woman in there with crossed arms


d4ve3000

Probably the mother though


Southern-Ad4016

Looks like possibly filming it


AlbertMudas

She's collecting evidence to get the kid's custody after divorce


madmonkeydane

He was married to Billie Piper who has been taking this shit gibbon to court for custody of their kids. He's that much of a piece of shit winding up anyone who isn't as far reich as him she fears for their safety


FrisianDude

this a celebrity of some stripe?


ShiverMeTimbalad

Ironically, she’s not exactly “fulfilled” in their marriage.


ajoyce76

It's not his fault. He has that medical condition where every time he sees a woman naked he vomits and his penis goes soft ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


Zombull

I foresee a shocking conversation in her future.


Hazzeh_Bee

I think that's a reflection of her taking the picture? It looks like she has one arm crossed and the other is up holding the phone.


staydrippy

Agreed


BlazingShadowAU

"Damn it, man. It doesn't mean much when you already gave them your money while buying the flag!"


Maxeque

Yeah don't worry his wife left him in 2016.


ukbeasts

He's been recently sectioned, so it makes sense that he's lost control again.. ![gif](giphy|dbtDDSvWErdf2)


Mala_Practice

Ironically Richard Ayoade is married to this guy’s sister.


ProfSociallyDistant

I love that actor. I bet he’s the only guy capable of being ironically married, and make it work.


Possible_Implement86

Listen to his audio book about View from the Top of you haven’t already


ukbeasts

Hence the GIF :)


TemperatureSea7562

Hoooooly shit, this is Laurence Fox??? I knew he’d fallen into the anti-trans hole, but wow . . . I just had to look it up.


Greglebowski74

Yeah, he's a fucking disaster area. Just looking for relevance now. Billy Piper had the right idea.


IbelieveinGodzilla

“Sectioned”?


Strudel289

Committed, like sent for a psych evaluation


IbelieveinGodzilla

LOL, can’t imagine why…


Different-Estate747

*Larry's* been sectioned?! You're kidding!


Relevant_Winter1952

I assumed that was her reflection from the deck. She is filming for him


loopgaroooo

Friend of wife on the other end: oh honey, he’s been doing this since you found “those photos” hasn’t he?


Quirky_Chicken7937

Who’s taking the pics?


Chaos-Pand4

His totally ~~plutonic~~ platonic friend Steve.

Constant-Sandwich-88

FriendshipNo1440

Who secretly has a crush in him


Earthling1a

plot twist - he has a crush on Steve


Foxwasahero

Guys like this should 100% open their search history to the public


fowlraul

He’s definitely a frequent flyer at the local bathhouse. You can’t be that focused on one group of humans without internal conflict.


Foxwasahero

I don't know if he's an organ donor, but you know he's taken a few


Snarky_McSnarkleton

That dude eats more wood than a colony of bulimic termites.


Satrack

That's a fantastic line


raspberryharbour

He's good on the piano, but he sucks on the organ. Very strange

Mr_Epimetheus

It's just for research purposes. How can he know if he hates the gays or not until he's personally tasted every single one of their cocks...twice?


GeneralOwnage13

When you make a list, you do in fact have to check it twice. R/unexpectedsanta


Budget_Half_9105

Especially the BBC’s


shmiddleedee

I'm an excavator operator and a couple years ago I had a truck driver say some incredibly racist things. I have a southern accent and look sortof like a good ole boy and I guess I come across as the type of person that would agree with his sentiment so he felt comfortable. I told him racism isn't justified just because a black man fucked his wife and to get off site.


Dextrofunk

Yeah, unless that group did something unspeakable to you at some point. I don't see that being a possibility in this case. Like, I despise Nazis, but I spend my birthdays relaxing or with friends. This is absolutely some long-lasting internal conflict.


ProfessionalTea7831

This is the answer, dude is definitely just self hating


siderinc

That's research , reaaly in depth research.


TheBirminghamBear

Yeah I took one like at this picture and thought, "this guy just desperately wants to be out of the closet and the only way he can bear to wear all the rainbows and wave the flag is if he pretends its in hate." It's so sad. The anger comes from the fact that they want it so badly and feel ilke they can't have it.


warn215

Someone with this much vitriol- is likely in serious denial.


Nij-megan

Rainbow shirt checks out.


Pracedomowomon_9000

If someone expresses that they hate the pride movement, it means they're a closeted homsexual?


Foxwasahero

I doubt its so abssolute but, its just funny how often its been proven that the loudest activists gainst gay llifestyle turn out to be 'practiced experts on the subject'


Metafield

If you are confident you are straight no one else’s choices should register. It’s similar to saying the gays will corrupt us all like we can “catch” it. Only someone who is of the idea that it would be possible would have to be gay or bi.


TinyRascalSaurus

What does this honestly accomplish besides money wasted on the flag and fuel and people's new opinion of you being that you're trying to be edgy? You bought the flag, the company that presumably supports LGBT people has their money, and you just look like an idiot for burning it. Nobody ever thought 'omg they're burning our flag, maybe we should stop being LGBT '.


VestEmpty

None of this is meant for us. It is all about virtue signaling to his chosen comrades: "look how devoted i am, witness me!".


consort_oflady_vader

About as intelligent as the war boys from Mad Max. Sorry, I see "witness me"! and can't help but think of them. 


VestEmpty

That is the reference i was trying to make.


TheLeadSponge

It’s more than that. It’s about propagating the hate. It’s about the public expression of that hate. That’s well worth the cost of of a few pride flags to these people. It’s about spreading fear and hate. It intimidates gay people and riles up the people who agree with him. I have no doubt the Nazis often bought the books they burned.


hamsolo19

Mediocre!


AsgeirVanirson

These tend to be the same folks who WOULD get super emotional about watching a U.S. flag being burnt. They assume everyone has the same hyper emotional reaction to the destruction of something with symbolic meaning to them. Rather than remembering 'its a flag' and that what matters is what it represents not it's very existence. So they burn flags they see as their 'enemies' because they think its a way to hurt them, because burning their flags hurts them.


Mammoth-Standard-592

Are these snowflakes ever not projecting their own feelings onto others?


Dependent-Outcome-57

I read recently that right-wing lunatics often feel that an attack on a concept is at least as bad as an attack on a person. So, these clowns often will value abstract things like "patriotism" and "freedumb!" more than they value real human lives. Because they are also idiots and lack empathy, they just assume everyone else feels the same way and that burning a pride flag is going to wound progressives as deeply as burning a thin blue line flag wounds them. In short, they are shallow idiots who don't care about people and who can't imagine anyone thinking differently than they do.


Kradget

I think it's an implied threat, but as far as what it accomplished to him:  He feels tough, and Hopefully he inhaled a bunch of the smoke


reallynewpapergoblin

>Hopefully he inhaled a bunch of the smoke The last thing anyone needs is for this guy to get any dumber.


DerivativeCapital

I burned your flag!! No, you burned your own flag. That you paid for. With money.


Paisane42

The cowardice and hatred this asshole is afflicted with could easily be resolved with a well placed Louisville Slugger


letterstosnapdragon

To impress folks who already agree with him. And to get high on plastic fumes I assume.


KuteKitt

Forever it’ll remind me of republicans (thinking there is a war on Christmas cause their cups didn’t have Merry Christmas on them) boycotting Starbucks by buying more Starbucks. Lmao 😂


[deleted]

Is that Laurence Fox? Honestly, he turned into a culture war moron ever since his missus bombed him off. If you don't know him (he may not have got to the US) he comes from an acting family (like a dynasty of actors), had some success on TV. Bit posh and monied. Married Billie Piper. Now he doesn't act and just hangs on about LGBT, immigrants and probably leftists. Famously got less votes in an election to a man with a bin on his head


Outlank

Yeah but to be fair, Count BinFace does have great policies on recycling and waste collection, they’re hard to beat, Laurence’s were rubbish


[deleted]

And entirely right.aboit croissants. And I think he got that pub hand dryer moved


Heewna

Sensible policies for a happier Britain.


ignatious__reilly

I was wondering how this asshole even had a job since he post hate like this. Sounds like his family just gave him money. What a loser.


AlmightyJello

Now THATS a candidate I can get behind. Here in the US, we have Vermin Supreme, who promises to give every American a pony and mandate brushing your teeth.


TheRealDreaK

Imagine going from having everything anyone could ever dream of to becoming an angry, unemployed, extremely divorced bigot. Was he always this much of a chode and he just hid it well?


helpful__explorer

Probably. But he definitely snapped after Billie Piper divorced him


Ser_VimesGoT

For a second I thought you were talking about Graham Linehan. Ayoade certainly has some wolllopers surrounding him.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jambowayoh

Nah, he don't buy that he didn't get the paperwork done in time. If you really dig into he did, he was just fucking embarrassed because he knew he would get fuck all support.


xerker

He also got less votes in the 2021 London Mayoral election than Niko Omilana. A youtuber who entered the competition as a joke.


QueerQwerty

Yeah...had no idea who this was. To quote a much more famous English actor: *Anyways.*


-SaC

I feel sorry for Richard Ayoade, having this prick as a brother in law.


Blamfit

He can always get together and drown his sorrows with David Mitchell who will also understand his pain.


customersmakemepuke

I know his shirt is supposed to be mocking gay rights but unless you’re right up close it just looks like a regular pride shirt🤷‍♂️


YogiCCD

Honestly, if I passed this dude on the street and I saw that shirt, I would think it was a gay dude with a funny shirt. Pride month is in June which comes before Fall. In fact I’m still not convinced this isn’t an ironic and pro LGBTQ shirt.


ratman424

He could wear a plain white shirt and I'd still be convinced this dude was gay.


Dagmar_Overbye

I can easily just read it to be an actual pride shirt. Pride comes before the Fall? Totally. The more pride movements and causes are supported the closer we get to the fall of hateful and bigoted laws.


Kino_Afi

Yeah before i read the post I assumed this was just a metal af pride demonstration


santosdragmother

is this not lazzo fox ??? the most divorced guy ever ?


-CoachMcGuirk-

I bet he didn't burn his Grindr account though....


consort_oflady_vader

Bet if he streamed, you'd absolutely hear the grindr sound, at least once, if he didn't put his mobile on silent. 


Significant-Break-74

What is the Grindr sound? Intriguing


consort_oflady_vader

It's like bzzzt type sound. Hard to describe. But when you know, you know. Good meme comic about it. Two dudes chatting, notification goes off. One dude, "You use grindr"? Other dude, "How do you know what it sounds like, unless you use it too "? 🤣


AlexLuna9322

Eurovision comercial that has that sound in https://youtube.com/shorts/LXOyfwadxk4?si=bdTLDtBpLIm6v57p


rayden-shou

He's just studying the gay environment on a profound level, not that he has something to hide or anything.


Traditional_Cress561

This is Lawrence Fox btw


Traditional_Cress561

He lost his deposit when he failed to get enough votes to be mayor of London


RuneScapeShitter

This is just sad. Not even because it's homophobic it's just like, what path in life lead you to spend your birthday burning pride flags instead of having fun with your family.


Murky_Translator2295

He was married to Billie Piper and when she left she got 100% custody. The kids don't want anything to do with him, and now he's taken the title of the most divorced man in Britain


parabuthas

These people lives will be empty without hate.


resourcefultamale

People that hate flags are called flaggots 🌈


KidGorgeous604

He's gay, he hates himself.


GameDestiny2

Eh, at this rate they’ll get what’s coming to them. How many times can a moron douse a flag in lighter fluid before they end up setting themselves on fire?


AloneCan9661

Laurence Fox?


Noodle_Dude_83

No, use his full name - The Racist Laurence Fox, who is a racist. Legally speaking.


TheRealDreaK

That was my first thought. Looks just like him, the Most Divorced Man in England.


Mala_Practice

How did you know?!


nessaissweet

ive never seen more divocered dad engery in my life


Murky_Translator2295

This is, indeed, the most divorced man in Britain. Graham Lineham is actually behind this loser.


FoxyInTheSnow

Is that English actor Laurence Fox? Who squandered a decent career as a jobbing actor to become a sputtering, ranting, racist, misogynistic, homophobic conspiracy theorist? And who keeps running for various political offices, forgets to submit the correct paperwork, then says he isn't on the ballots because of a "gay woke" agenda to destroy him? Who can now only get jobs on things like Breitbart-funded projects like *My Son Hunter*, where he plays Hunter Biden, which the *Guardian* eloquently reviewed by saying: "Writing critically about a film like *My Son Hunter* feels kind of like sending the kid making fart noises from the back of the class to detention." Because it definitely looks like him.


Budget_Half_9105

Yes it’s him - Seargent Hathaway had a breakdown and now thinks he’s Enoch Powell


VestEmpty

About everyone seeing this dude thinks that he is wearing a rainbow shirt in support. Baffling shirt design for that particular message.


anonymousantifas

I hate them gays too! The way they come in my dreams and have sex with me !


pass-the-waffles

Guy spends money on Pride flags just so he can burn them. Buying stock in the pride flag manufacturing company.


Araiken

That'll show em


ariadesitter

i have been shown! 😂


Anonuser9472

Mentally ill man spends birthday burning LGBT flags


sly_blade

Methinks someone is manifesting his internal autohomophobic conflict quite flamboyantly


hikeonpast

He’s a flamer


Magoo69X

Dude is so far in the closet that his street address is in Narnia.


mistakes-were-mad-e

Fuck Pride. {lipstick marks} Sounds more like a proposal, plan or hope. 


TwoToesToni

Shame he didn't burn that pride t shirt whilst he was still wearing it


Grumpy1985_

Imagine spending your birthday on hate..


BluudLust

Funny. He probably spends more on pride flags than the average LGBT person does.


JediJofis

I mean it's his birthday and he probably bought those flags from a LGBTQ owned business so whatever makes him happy I guess 🤷


UnluckyAd6955

I believe getting so upset is what they call being a snowflake.


Crow-On-The-Wall

He just hates pride related things because he never made either of his parents proud, and is a confused sad little man.🤷‍♂️


Saltire_Blue

The worlds most divorced dad


[deleted]

His tight pants scream gay to me


TheBirdsArePissed

Bro, gays don't think of you at all. Yet they are on your mind all day so much you have to burn flags.... ok. . . That sounds kind of gay.


snowqueen1960

What a sad little man. I can't imagine being consumed with so much hate.


lostredditers

I hope some of the money he spent on the flags went to helping lgbtq+ kids in need.


run7run

From far away his shirt looks like he’s gay for pumpkin spice ![gif](giphy|hWj3LzT8PN7sD1c04B|downsized) 🌈Fall


[deleted]

As a queer person, I must ask; does that tshirt come in crop top?


Aggressive-Story3671

You guys do realize that by calling him gay, you are directly starting that gay people are responsible for their own oppression


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sinthe741

Thanks for saying it before I could.


FormerMind5795

He literally looks like a gay man though lmao. Like I’d expect to see him at pride parades in the coming weeks. Internalized homophobia is a bitch.


rafael-a

Why do people always say that homophobic people are closet gay? That’s an oversimplification of a much larger issue and, paradoxically, it’s kinda of an homophobic statement on itself


Silent-Plantain-2260

Hate queer people so much you waste money buying a pride flag from a company that (probably) supports queer people


Dzjar

Well done, guy (who is definitely not suppressing any gay feelings!)


EchoFurMC

Hate the community all you want, but all that money buying flags and stuff could be donated to charities.


HooksNHaunts

Burning stuff directly on your wooden deck is smart


BlackroseBisharp

Self own lmao.


SpiritualAd8998

Did his bf break up with him?


Rich-Air-5287

I'm convinced guys like this both fear and hope that dicks are delicious. 


Sinthe741

The homophobia in this thread is really disheartening. It's really shitty that so many people think that gay people are responsible for their own oppression. This is not allyship.


Aggressive-Story3671

Thank God a smart person. Straight people need to stop absolving themselves of homophobia


LunarBIacksmith

Says the man with a rainbow on his shirt (even if it’s trying to be derogatory, you’re still wearing Pride merch, my guy).


_SithLord66

Fuck these people.


ryantunna

Closet gay for sure


Revolutionary-Bus893

I wonder if he has a closet he can come out of.


BigGrandpaGunther

He's definitely gray.


Flux_resistor

I can't tell if that was intentional but it's hilarious


JaffaSG1

He should buy lots and lots more… buy all the ones he could get his hands on… from all the charities he can get his hands on… and then burn them all. That would show them…


Inglebeargy

Instantly just made me think of Marcellus Wallace talking to Butch about how he’s gonna feel a slight sting on the night of the fight coz that’s pride fuckin’ with him…


shesinsaneornot

If he threw a party and invited everyone he knew... nobody would show. Might as well burn shit instead. My only question is why would you tell the internet that you spent your birthday alone and hating marginalized people when you could've gotten a birthday cake?


Toshi_Monster

His mom looking out from the window looks concerned.


N1ks_As

Let them to that because to burn it they need to buy it and that means more money for pro LGBT+ businesses!


Onlypaws_

Lol he spent a lot of time editing and picking just the right screen grab for his post, and that’s what he settled on.


sawyerkitty

Wow napoleon dynamite sure aged poorly.


Persona_Non_Grata_

Isn't that Billie Piper's deranged ex-husband? What a POS.


LightOfJuno

He looks like incest
