From gay icon to cancelled, where it went wrong for Kim Woodburn

Woodburn was appearing on one-time comedian Mark Dolan's talk show when the subject shifted to the culture wars and a pressure group's campaign for 'female only changing rooms'. She said: 'If I'm going to be labelled that, get on with it. I give not a jot. If I don't want to show a man, accidentally, my knockers, or my bottom half, dear, which could easily happen, then I'm being labelled?' Woodburn continued: 'A man's a man, a woman's a woman. And women who say they don't mind sharing a dressing room with a man, they must be sexually frustrated and need to see something naughty!' Many people in the LGBT+ community were upset in the wake of the interview. Woodburn had attended numerous Pride festivals as guest of honour, she had spoken of the challenges the community faces. She even picked a list of her Pride anthems. Woodburn said her words had been deliberately misinterpreted. "I have always supported the LGTBQ+ community, as you are all aware, and I count each and every single one of you, my friends. I will always be an ally to the community and would never say a bad word about any of you." But the damage was done.
