Earlier this week, Jeremy Joseph, owner of the legendary LGBT nightclub G-A-Y, posted a comment on Facebook which surprised me for two reasons — the racial overtones of the remarks, and the numerous supportive comments from his followers that it garnered. In his post, Joseph commented that, in the nine days since he had been away for Christmas, there had been two stabbings in central London. The post has now been taken down, and Joseph has apologised. But as a black gay man, I took several things from this incident — whether intended or not. At the time of posting, a man in his position did not think it irresponsible to post such a public statement, or stop to consider how it could impact on non-white people in his community.
