Will Young blasts Amazon Video’s car show after ‘homophobic’ episode airs

Will Young has called out The Grand Tour presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May for being homophobic.
The openly gay singer was left unimpressed after watching an episode of the Amazon Video car show on Monday night (28Jan19), which saw the three stars, who used to host Top Gear before Clarkson was fired for punching a producer, suggest that a Jeep Wrangler is a gay man’s car.
Taking to Twitter, a furious Young slammed the show, which he mistakenly called Top Gear before correcting himself.
“1. I love cars always have always will. 2. I loved going on top gear 3. Excited about watching new Top gear and I’m afraid 3 heterosexual men SO uncomfortable with their sexuality that they reference in some lame way a Wrangler Jeep being a Gay mans car,” he fumed.
“… and then Hammond and May’s ‘quips’ to Clarkson wearing chaps , a pink shirt , he should get some moisturiser . It’s f**king pathetic and actually homophobic . And screw them and the show and Amazon (who by the way is a wonderful organisation I hope to forge a relationship..
“.. relationship with through lgbt content ) for putting this shaming archaic trype (sic) out. @amazonprimenow it’s insulting and they can’t rest on laurels of ‘oh we are just politically incorrect’ It’s sad and shaming , bigoted and for f**ks sake grow up. How dare they stereotype Gay men.”
He went on to tell his followers that he doesn’t drive that model of car, wear pink shirts or “a**eless chaps”.
The 40-year-old added that it’s fine to be honest and funny, but it shouldn’t be done at the expense of gay people.
“It’s repulsive and how DARE you do it and put it out @PrimeVideo,” he blasted.
“And you know what really f**ks me off is this is a DECISION by the producers . Let’s make one of the narratives the ‘gay Jeep’ how DARE you you obtuse , bigoted immature babies of men @PrimeVideo @PinkNews @AttitudeMag @guardian.”
