Mohammed Nazam said the Pride event contradicted his ‘personal religious beliefs’ in Facebook group
A Conservative mayor has resigned after being labelled homophobic when he apologised for attending a council LGBTQ+ Pride event because it “contradicts” his beliefs.
Mohammed Nazam, the mayor of Keighley in West Yorkshire, faced anger after posting in a Facebook group that it was a “lapse of judgment” to attend the raising of a progress flag on Friday as part of the town’s Pride month celebrations.
