Back in February, Twitchy reported on protests going on at an elementary school in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The school had mandated something called the “No Outsiders” project, the aim of which was to “celebrate difference and diversity” and keep the school in compliance with the U.K.’s Equality Act 2010, which took previous anti-discrimination laws and brought them all under one umbrella.
In other words, the elementary school was planting the seeds of LGBT acceptance, and the majority Muslim population was not happy about it, threatening to pull their children out of the school. “It’s good to teach children about respect and values but the sexual orientation aspect is against our principles,” said one mother and father.
A month later, the school dropped the “No Outsiders” project after hundreds of parents pulled their children from the school for a day in protest.
We’d thought that was the end of it, by Sky News on Tuesday posted video of Labour MP Angela Eagle literally breaking into tears on the floor of Parliament in response to protests at another elementary school in Birmingham:
Labour MP @angelaeagle makes an tearful plea to MPs to take action over LGBT teaching protests in Birmingham.

Sky News reports, almost mournfully:
A gay MP broke down in the House of Commons arguing in favour of lessons about same-sex relationships.
Angela Eagle told MPs: “We aren’t going to get back into the closet or hide or be ashamed nor are we going to allow a generation of pupils that are now in school to go through what the pupils of the 80s had to go through because this chamber let them down.
“And nor are we going to let this to happen in the name of religion.”
She was responding to fellow Labour MP Roger Godsiff, who has spoken in support of protesters who held weeks of demonstrations outside Anderton Park Primary school in his Birmingham constituency.
They argue that primary school children should not be taught that it is okay to be gay or told some families have same-sex parents.

“Nor are we going to let this to happen in the name of religion?” Is someone throwing down the gauntlet against Muslim immigrants who have decided not to adopt the country’s LGBT-friendly culture? That’s not very intersectional.
Here’s a pro open borders, pro multi-culturalism UK legislator CRYING…
…yes CRYING in the Parliamentary chamber…
…because Muslim communities are protesting their toddlers being taught LGBT stuff in school. https://t.co/kYTS8U9ydw

Huh. We remember some people warning about taking in huge numbers of immigrants who had no intention of assimilating, but they were just xenophobes.
We always knew the left-Islam alliance would fall about at some point.
I didn’t know it would come apart as embarrassingly as this.
No wonder other countries laugh at us.
Our MPs cry because the world they artificially created is crumbling.

It's almost as if they didn't think this open borders, multiculturalism thing through all that much.

This is what happens when you suddenly realize that you've been on the wrong side the whole time.
A full-on mental breakdown. ?

A bit awkward. Do I back the LGBT or do I back the Muslim community?

Would be nice to find a quote from the Bible for this level of turpitude..

A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left. Even when the fool walks on the road, he lacks sense, and he says to everyone that he is a fool. Ecclesiastes 10:2-3

That will do nicely – thank you for the reference x

In a rare instance of a Venn Diagram-esque sliver of an overlap, I actually agree with Muslims. Little children do not need to be taught anything about anything of this sort.

Something of a quandary for the left…
— Neville ‘Jammy’ Johnson (@JammyNeville) June 25, 2019
But how do we continue our lives then? Should we support multiculturalism or LBGT? Google please tell us what to do!

That liberal dilemma again.

Time for the left to pick a side. They tried backing both Islam and LGBT but have now found out they don't play well together. You'd have thought they might have noticed before now. ?

I totally support the LGBT community in this, but the problem so many Lefties ignore is the fact that the most homophobic culture here is Islam, and the Left's encouragement of mass immigration has actually exacerbated the problems faced by our LGBT community.

Islamophobia?

You were all warned about this, but many preferred to scream racist every 5 seconds as a means of stifling debate. Well played. https://t.co/tmpD5lgLXx

We’re watching the left try to divide by zero.

What, does Eagle want the Muslim immigrants to act a little more … English? Sounds pretty xenophobic.
