Fans were quick to criticise him.
James May sparked fierce backlash for his comments about Pride bunting Former Top Gear star James May took to social media to label Pride flag bunting ‘authoritative’ and ‘oppressive’. Pride month takes place annually in June with Progress Pride rainbow flags decorating central London including Regent Street as members of the LGBTQ+ community proudly celebrate their identity and culture.
The 61-year-old presenter defended himself in the comments Although some praised the Oh Cook! presenter, with user @serena_patrick saying: ‘Definitely TMB’. Another user @alanwilkinsonNZ wrote: ‘Why on earth is anyone proud of their sexuality? Be proud of being a good person, achieving something worthwhile and making the world a better place rather. ‘Plastering your flag all over the road doesn’t do that. It’s just overbearing or embarrassing.’ But many shared their outrage at James’ remarks.
