A British politico’s accused of abandoning gay rights to win the Muslim vote. Gay activist Peter Tatchell claims formerly pro-gay Parlimentarian George Galloway used his opponent’s stance on gay rights to seduce Muslim voters in a recently reorganized voting district.
After parliamentary redistricting in August created a new seat contested by Galloway and Labour MP Jim Fitzpatrick, Galloway’s Web site listed Fitzpatrick’s favorable record on gay rights under reasons not to vote for him.
…
“George appears to be appeasing homophobic sections of the Muslim community by attacking Jim Fitzpatrick over his support for gay rights,” [said] Tatchell…“He’s using homophobia to gain political advantage, and he is betraying his own past appeal for gay equality.
If his Web site is a mistake, George should correct it immediately.”
The website has since been amended.

George Galloway is a nasty pirce of work , i don’t trust him, everything he’s ever done or said has always been for his own financial or political gain, Thatchell on the other hand is a wonderful human being, who’s fought hard for gay right in the uk and around the world,

I agree 100% with faghag!
Mr Galloway is probably one of the slimiest and calculating politician ever to have walked the corridors of Westminster.
If you haven’t seen this I highly recommend it:
