Jewish neo-Nazi renounces white supremacist past – and comes out as gay

Kevin Wilshaw first became interested in Nazism as an 11-year-old. His father was “very right wing”, and he wanted to emulate him, he told a British TV channel.

Since then, the British man’s life has revolved around white supremacy.

Now, after a lifetime devoted to the far-right cause, Wilshaw has renounced his hate-filled past, and revealed that he is gay and has Jewish heritage.

He divulged all during an interview with Channel 4.

“You’re a Nazi, with a Jewish background, who is gay,” said Wilshaw’s interviewer, Paraic O’Brien, evidently baffled by the contradictions.

Wilshaw joined the National Front, Britain’s far-right and fascist political party, soon after turning 18, and rose to become a prominent figure as an organiser for the party in the 1980s, according to Channel 4.
