JK Rowling comes to the defence of Tom Daley after he’s targeted by Christian group

Tony Cuddihy

Once again, the world’s favourite author won’t tolerate bigotry and stupidity on social media.

Author JK Rowling has put a lobby group called Christian Voice back in their box after they posted a horrible remark about British diver Tom Daley, who failed to qualify for the 10m final in the diving.

Daley is gay; Christian Voice are homophobes.

They tweeted…

Rowling caught wind of the tweet and wasn’t shy about speaking out.

Indy100 also quotes an article from SB Nation, which shows how the medal count at the last London Olympic showed how gay athletes actually won more medals than their straight counterparts.
