This world is made up of diverse people. And, because it’s the 21st century, it’s really no longer acceptable to judge or even bash a person’s character based on their lifestyle choices, appearance, or occupation.
Unfortunately, a man named Gary Cocker had to learn this the hard way when after he made a homophobic Tweet, the train company that was transporting him defended the individual he was bashing.
Distractify relays that Cocker was catching a ride with the Transpennine Express train company, which is based in the UK, when he was appalled to see a male passenger sitting across from him, wearing stockings and a dress.
Cocker, who has since made his account private, Tweeted the following:
You’ll love what the train company replied with, however:
Probably something to do with it being the 21st century now. As long as they have a ticket, everyone is welcome on our trains ^ZS

It’s an understatement to relay that fans absolutely loved the company’s response. In fact, it inspired a number of male activists to sport dresses, take selfies, and troll the hell out of Cocker for trying to demean the man on the train.
