I’d forgotten about Boris’s rampant homophobia, which has seen him write such gems as:

If gay marriage was OK - and I was uncertain on the issue - then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men; or indeed three men and a dog.
Boris Johnson, ‘Friends, Voters, Countrymen’, HarperCollins, 2002

Not to mention writing in the Spectator when the government were repealing Section 28 (the legislation forbidding the ‘promotion’ of homosexuality in schools) that they had an “appalling agenda, encouraging the teaching of homosexuality in schools”. This was swiftly followed in the Telegraph with this:

It is more sensitive to spare parents’ anxieties than to allow left-wing local authorities to waste taxpayers’ money on idiotic and irrelevant homosexual instruction.

One of the greatest things about London is how anyone can come to this city and be whatever they want to be, act however they want to act, and as long as their behaviour doesn’t have a negative impact on others, nobody minds what they do. And certainly the gay scene in London is one of the most thriving and vibrant in the country, if not the world. The annual Pride march is a highlight in the capital’s calendar. It seems Boris would rather the march was called Shame.

I think I may have to come up with another poster to cover this issue…
