"I was quite pleased that Prince Philip didn't say anything like, I hate queers! He was quite well behaved"

About this Quote
This quote by Allan Carr is referring to a meeting he had with Prince Philip. Carr was pleased that the Prince did not make any bad comments about the LGBTQ+ community. This suggests that Carr was anticipating the Prince to make such remarks, which indicates that he understood the Prince's credibility for making offending remarks. Nevertheless, Carr was pleasantly shocked that the Prince was well acted and did not make any offensive comments. This quote is a testament to the development that has actually been made in terms of approval of the LGBTQ+ neighborhood, as even a figure with a track record for making offending remarks was able to lionize and restraint. It is a suggestion that we should all make every effort to be more accepting and tolerant of one another, no matter our distinctions.
