‘Sets gay rights back 50 years’: Twitter disgusted by Kevin Spacey

Earlier today we reported on Kevin Spacey's recent statement in light of allegations levelled against him by actor Anthony Rapp.

In a hugely questionable move, the House of Cards actor attempted to deflect attention from Rapp's allegations by choosing to come out as gay – a decision which has thoroughly disgusted members of the public as well as his peers within the entertainment industry.

Spacey has been accused of conflating homosexuality with paedophilia, in addition to taking Rapp's lived experience as a platform to tell his own story.

Twitter has been quick to condemn the acclaimed actor, with many insisting they have lost all respect for him.

Take a look at what the public and his peers have to say on the matter.
