However woke you might think the world is getting, there are still people that are going to make dumb comments about issues like homosexuality and LGBT rights and it looks as though Jeremy Clarkson is one of those people. Surprise surprise.

Will Young was the first person to draw attention to Clarkson and the gang from The Grand Tour’s homophobic comments during a recent episode, complaining about when the presenters encountered a pink jeep playing ‘It’s Raining Men’ inside it. They commented that the owners probably wore ventilated chaps and moisturised, which caused Young to tweet the following:

No word from @PrimeVideo so @Ofcom beckons . Enough is enough and I’m pissed and fed up. I want Amazonprime and the producers of grand tour to meet young lgbt who want to kill themselves because of shaming and laughter and normalising of shaming homophobic narratives..:

I mean he has got a bit of a point there hasn’t he? It’s hardly helping anyone by getting a cheap laugh at the expense of the LGBT community and Clarkson did kinda recognise this. Kinda.

Here’s his response to Young’s tweet in his column in The Sun:

But this week, he went berserk on Twitter, saying that I’d been homophobic in the most recent episode of The Grand Tour.

Many gay people who’d seen the show said they couldn’t see a problem. None of my leftie friends could either. One even said I should tell him to stop being so gay.

I won’t do that though. And nor will I suggest, once again, that mobile phones should be fitted with breathalysers to stop people drinking and tweeting.

No. Instead, I will apologise to Will for causing him some upset and reassure him that I know I’m not homophobic as I very much enjoy watching lesbians on the internet.

I mean I suppose he at least apologised (not really though, we all know when you apologise for offending someone, you’re not actually apologising for your actions) but he’s kinda missing the point 100% if he thinks that he’s not homophobic because he likes lesbian porn. That’s pretty much just making fun of the issue again for some more lad banter. Fantastic.
