Self-described socialist, antifascist, and Guardian columnist, Owen Jones really stepped in it when he claimed anyone who describes gay people as 'homosexual' is homophobic.
Don't make that face, we didn't write it.
He did.

Damn, son.

Maybe Owen should rethink this?
We know he won't, he's too busy being super defensive because it was a stupid thing to post in the first place. Poor soul.
