homophobe According to rediff.com, Sonam used her Twitter handle to express her disgust in a sarcastic manner. She tweeted, “I prefer Baa Baa Black Sheep over Baba Ramdev.”
This comment reportedly irked one of her fans, who tweeted her back that she is being rude to Baba. But the girl responded by saying, “As rude as you should be to a sexist homophob!”But before the war of words spilled out on Twitter, Sonam made a valid point. Her tweet said, “Sadly for us (& happily 4 political parties) the #BabaRamdev episode hs diverted evry1's attentn fm the main issue: corruption.” victim impact statement in the prosecution of a “crime” of this nature trivialises the judicial process, but some go even further. One Jewish resident claimed it reminded him of signs his mother had seen in the 1930s which declared the area a Jew free zone.
Though there was anti-Semitic activity in Tower Hamlets in the 1930s, the existence of such stickers has yet to be confirmed, perhaps this over-enthusiastic individual was confusing the “Rainbow Borough” with Nazi Germany? That allusion has been made before of course, but a nation in which Jews were progressively excluded from both public life and business by law, and were at times subjected to arbitrary violence, albeit without official sanction, before finally being shipped off to concentration camps, is a different proposition entirely from one where homosexuals have full legal rights including the right to enter into civil partnerships.
