Was Scruton a member of any social clubs apart from the Conservative Philosophy Group? Xxanthippe (talk) 03:44, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Scruton was a active homophobe, why is this being airbrushed from his page?
I think it's disgusting that someone has removed heterosexism as one of Scruton's main interests. He wrote a whole homophobic diatribe book on the topic (complete with some of the worst arguements ever made by a professional philosopher) AND was still banging on about it in interviews years later. Sorry if he's your idol or something, but can we not airbrush that he was a frothing-at-the-mouth homophobe who went out of his way to make the world an unpleasant and unwelcoming place for queer people. Cheers. 2A02:8109:BC8A:7200:6CFC:F3C8:8639:3930 (talk) 22:11, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- When was this removed and by whom? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:16, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
That is peculiar. The article does mention some of his anti-homosexual positions, were these restored, or was there prevoiusly a separate section?
I think the article, as it stands, does understate his general intolerance and bigotry, and it would benefit from some rewriting.
