This Guy had more cred than Punk in the day...just saying.

Tom!

This song was a bombshell to me when it was released. So honest, so angry, so true, such passion. This is a brilliant performance of this distressingly relevant groundbreaking song. Thanks SO much Tom. xx

Brutally harsh but so true. Kudos!

I’m 65 and was fortunate to be brought up by a mother who showed compassion and consideration towards gay people. She had 2 work colleagues in the ‘50s who were gay men. She and other women in the work place were very protective of them and she brought me up to accept people for who they are. I have never had an issue with a person’s sexuality. I have LGBTQ+ friends and family, who I love dearly. My hope for them is that they will be happy, and safe from the bigots. I saw the TRB in about’78 and the words strike hard as this is how things were then and for some time after. Whilst things have improved, there’s still a long way to go to ensure that we all have equal acceptance and opportunity in society.

Una gran defensora de la mujer, una luchadora admirable.

I support Tom and everything he sings for the full 100%

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Tom Robinson telling us that anything is possible. Love this...

The guy that said “no let him stay “we need more people like that

A GREAT & HOLY WOMAN... who i look up to!!!

I went to church with her at Northwest Baptist Church in North Miami

I was 21 that year. Amazing song. ❤ And performed at an Amnesty International event, which is even more amazing.

long live tom

I rewrote the German Wikipedia article "Gay Pride", hearing continuesly "Glad to be gay". It brought me in the right mood to write the article.

Didn’t Tom Robinson make a 180 in later years, marry a woman and have kids. Odd world we live in??Wow.

A true classic.

I bough his record when I was 16, only listened with headphones worried that my parents would hear the gay part

Good on ya, mate!

Orange bird is so cute

And Anita is not a thinking human she’s just a talking human

Anita needs to pray for her own sinful hate. She is anti-Jesus.

I love that this bigots granddaughter is a married lesbian!

Look out, Anita! I think Orange Bird is GAY!!

An incredible, angry, defiant performance! Well done!

Don't believe all that shite about the Sex Pistols. That was just fashion. They were loved by the tabloids. John Lydon never made a statement that couldn't be printed in The Telegraph or Mail. This song and songs by bands like the Clash and Ruts actually made a difference. There were many more but the Sex Pistols, despite their support in the NME by radicals such as Burchill and Parson, didn't despite them acquiring substantial funds. Please.

A great song, and as he says: you don't have to be gay to join in (and agree with the sentiment).

I grew up on Tom Robinson, still one of the best songs ever

Ornch

This song remind me of my childhood. I love her voice.

Seriously though he really has balls

Yes I'm a proud gay man. Will we ever be accepted

Tom stood up for the right for people to love who ever they like. Good on him! was a time when the world needed a brave and true person.

More than forty years later and the bigots haven't changed a bit, they just target trans people now because you can't quite slander cis gays like they used to, but the talking points and the manufactured outrage are the exact same.

After all the years it was still inspiring to hear Tom declaring the truth. Thank you Tom.

Doesn't look like a woman full of hate...

Such a great song

I must have been about 12 when I first heard this and was considering what my sexuality might be. Fortunately it turns out I only like birds and I'm not screaming bender. Phew.

Wow, I remember this song at the time, I trivialised it, but listening to the words now it makes you realise how ground breaking Tom was

That's what I wanted to hear. "THIS"

I sing: "This way"!

This song is still so relevant today, even after 45 years so many of these lyrics still ring true

in Russia it is still very bad to be gay! ))))

Little orange bird❤❤❤

And everyone hates bisexuals 😢

Funny how he things they were not happening then are true now. The papers were telling the truth , just 40 years early.

I just heard this song tonight...and the parts about being called molesters and having books burned just rang so true with what is happening today. It's horrific that the US is going backwards

The "Gay News" line is illustrated in the movie "Tommy" , where the uncle who m@lests Tommy reads an issue.

I loved her commercials as a kid...
