A liar, a coward, a hypocrite, a sycophant. And absolutely worst of all (at least to me), a really, really shit friend. I bet he wishes he had a fraction of your courage and integrity.
I am appalled at the "care to know" part. So any gay man who doesn't believe in gendermagic isn't welcome in his life anymore? That makes him bigoted.
I love that he can't see that his "I'm a lady" sketches have come true - absurdly hairy men are calling themselves "Ladieees" and invading lesbian spaces with their "ladies' testiclé". He's pathetic.
This is really quite sad. I always figured Matt for a good guy, and I gather you got along. This feels like a really significant falling out for both of you. And over what... lies and ideology. Matt is very clearly wrong and you are completely justified in what you say, but I can’t help but feel this must be a sad moment for you, one of many perhaps. I am sorry you need to go through this Graham, just for speaking the truth, I hope you are ok. All I can say is that integrity can’t be bought, you will be remembered for having maintained yours. Some friendships / partnerships are not worth losing your integrity for. And there are plenty more of us out there who are not woke space cadets who would be glad to call you friend, or work with you. We’re just not all in the limelight, luvey dovey celebs. Or very talented. Or have very particularly good interpersonal skills…
I'm so angry about this it isn't good for my BP. I don't know how you keep your sense of humour Graham not to mention you ability to write cogently without every word being a swear but I salute you for it.
This coward is shoving lesbians under the bus in an attempt to save his own neck. Little Britain has been part of the culture wars so he must be feeling the pressure and fearing for his job at Woke Channel 4. I would have sympathy if he stood up and spoke about it. But he commits libel in the form of very public, ritualistic shaming and harassment instead. I hope they sue the bastard.
I think he’s an ill informed disappointment. Little Britain hasn’t aged well and he seems to have a selective memory. He’s no loss GL. He has ruined GBBO for me though. He’s so desperate to be seen as a good guy he’s not even thought it through and he’s managed to alienate his brethren and women in one tweet. - and for what? An ideology built on quicksand. Receipts are kept lest they forget.
I confess I was never a fan of Little Britain and I’ve never got the impression that Lucas or Walliams care much for women. On the other hand the YouTube interview from last year with Kate and Bev was inspirational. Two intelligent and decent women who want to make the world a fairer and better place.
Thanks for being there and doing what you do. We read your emails everyday. We often retweet and read your brave advocacy against the sleep of reason and its monsters. We speak out when the opportunity arises against the toxic lunacy of trans-ideology. I supported Stonewall for years. No longer.
My thought is why now? Why did he tweet that tweet today? It seems so unnecessary. Maybe it's something personal. Maybe someone close to him has put pressure on him. Or maybe someone put pressure on him for some other reason. I am not usually a conspiracy theorist but this seems like such a strange thing for a celebrity of any kind to do when they are taking part in one of the most high profile TV shows of the year. Why would you court the negative attention?
I’ve never understood why trans people can have their own organisations that exclude gay and lesbian people, but Lesbians and gay people can’t have organisations that exclude trans people.
Soon he'll be the only gay in the Stonewall village.

Well said Glinner. What a sycophantic shit he is.

Thank you so much for standing up for LGB people, you've done this at such a great personal cost but we are so very grateful to you.
I wish I had half the courage you have Graham.
Saying the LGB Alliance are an anti-trans group is like saying Stonewall is an anti-lesbian, gay and bisexual group. Oh, hang on...

Completely irresponsible tweet from Matt Lucas!!!

I guess you are in a unique position to see people's true colors, Graham. They're not pretty colors . . .
