UK Rail Station Volunteer Ousted for Wrongthink Over ‘Pride’ Train… and He Is Gay
29th May 2025
A volunteer has been banned from a railway charity scheme in the UK after he asked a basic question regarding a train that had been wrapped in ‘Pride’ colours.
The Telegraph reports, “Matthew Toomer, 48, was thrown out of West Midlands Railway’s ‘Adopt a Station’ scheme after he privately contacted company bosses to express concern about its ‘Progress Pride’ train.”
…
What awful hateful thing did Mr. Toomer say?
He commented on a social media post about the rebranded train, asking if it would “return to its natural state once the event is over.”
Oh the horror.
