Tbf Farron is just better at hiding his homophobia (click on the date in the tweet)
And I think part of the reason why this is dragging on is because Lib Dems keep insisting that his own private views don't affect his politics when in fact they clearly do. Say what you want about Nick Clegg, and I have, but he doesn't have the same view on gay people that Alex Jones does.
Also Farron resigned from the Lib Dem front bench in 2008 because they were against holding an EU referendum. He's a risible, opportunistic tosser.
