Homophobic attack against lesbians at Manchester Pride? **Thread title edited at OP's request**

Good the man does have some shame

I hope he read the last thread and maybe starts to understand where lesbian and straight women are coming from
I hope he understands that threats on the freedom of lesbian to state their sexual attraction are also threats on gay men.

He's uploaded a letter to Manc Pride trustees to twitter, in which he tenders his resignation as patron and organiser of the community stage.

Could someone please tell me what date this happened? You need this info to report a hate crime.

Here's the site by the way:

Mumsnet are really facilitating misogyny aren't they. In other situations where something valid has been discussed, what they've done is changed the wording, not pulled the whole thread. Why couldn't they have done that here?

Why don't they want women to know how misogynist activists talk about us?

I'm just jumping onto this thread because I've only just found out that a thread from a week or so ago has been deleted because the OP turned out to be a bit of a GF after all, apparently

It was an excellent thread with some excellent posts, especially by an older lesbian poster whose name I can NOT remember, but she was so fluent about the problems that women and lesbians will face if the changes to the GRA go ahead.

This was the thread - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3345765-LGBTQ-Well-mainly-Q - does anyone remember the name of the poster everyone was applauding? It was quite a long name but that's all I remember and I'm gutted because I wanted to link a friend to that thread so she could see the problems that women and lesbians are up against, but it's bloody GONE! :(
So much useful info in that thread too - I really don't think MNHQ should have pulled it.

Shocking comments, I hope the police will take this seriously.

The anti-woman activists have their way of doing things now

Go through every op with a toothcomb, try to find anything at all that could possibly be construed as an insult, and get the whole thread pulled.

It seems to happen a lot at night; threads that have been there suddenly disappear when the interns come on duty

The "wording in the op is a bit much".

So was the fucking insult.

This is ridiculous. Pulling an entire thread because the op pointed our that Pride was lesbophobic? ffs

Why was the other thread pulled?

I said on that please report him for homophobic incitement to violence.

Fuck 'em.

Also saw him on Twitter with the same post, He didn't seem overly apologetic over it. He needs charged as this could homophobic abuse and violence.

I'm sure he expected the usual crowd to show up and support him when he tweeted that..:so far only the spoon idiot has obliged. Good to see a few men weighing in too.

Pathetic little man. He has no real arguments to make so he resorts to an offensive comment that makes him feel all big and clever.

No support in the thread which is good to see.

Horrible comment and I disagree with the sentiment, but I'm really sorry, my main response is a massive LOL at 'sadly is only an offence in Nottingham'. Have you considered writing an Alan Bennett type piece about a festival or something like that? I quite genuinely think you'd be brilliant at it.

The north west has always been particularly misogynistic even by the standards of the crappy UK so it doesn't surprise me.
