Was Scruton a member of any social clubs apart from the Conservative Philosophy Group? Xxanthippe (talk) 03:44, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.
