Frank Skinner admitted that when he was young he was homophobic, racist and sexist

Frank Skinner admitted that he was a very different person when he was young and held racist, sexist and homophobic views. However, much time has passed and he has matured and, in his own words, "evolved."

The 65-year-old comedian revealed that he was born and raised on a working-class municipal estate in Oldbury, West Midlands. In the 1970s, he adopted the language of the decade, which was then the norm.

He credits much of his change both to his children, from whom he learned a lot, and to the #MeToo and BLM movements.

"My kid, I can learn from him. He's fine with gender politics, he's fine with race. He doesn't even question it. We talk about those things. The future is going to be a lot better," Skinner told the Daily Mail.
