"I was raised by a socialist in a multicultural environment, with gay, straight, trans, drag queens, everyone, all around me." She continued: "Most people getting called out are straight white men, isn't it? They deserve it. "You can't just go around grabbing people's bums and dropping drugs in women's drinks or f***ing shouting homophobic abuse at people and then not expect it to come back on you."
