James May, former Top Gear presenter and current Grand Tour star, has come under fire for his comments regarding the Pride flags displayed across London during Pride month. May described the multicolored flags as 'authoritarian' and 'oppressive,' drawing parallels to World War Two, which he claimed started with 'too much bunting.' His remarks triggered a significant twitterstorm, with critics accusing him of comparing the LGBT community to Nazis. May has since clarified his statements, asserting that he did not intend to suggest any similarity between the Pride movement and Nazis, and condemned those who used his comments to promote 'lazy homophobia.' LGB Alliance co-founder Kate Harris supported May's view, stating that the LGBT community labels anyone outside it as a bigot.
