Manchester pride usual 8 plus 3 extra

Looks like the usual people turned up for a photo op at Manchester pride, though to be fare there were 11 not 8 as usual.

Carry on protesting because its a good reminder of the actual numbers if that is all the people that can protest the second biggest pride in the UK.

I wish Jacky Holyoake wasn't banned

Ffs I didn’t know about this. What was she banned for?

She’s so knowledgeable about the EA2010. I’ve cut and pasted so many of her posts for future use. Thank you Jacky.

So the women who are lesbian are the bad women

Is that how it works now ?

And bespin starts a thread on the bad women ?

To show what.

How bad the women who are lesbian are ?
For being st a pride event ?

Just a heads up, I've asked MN to look at this thread. Personally I don't think its in the spirit, and OP is blatantly ignoring the laws that protect lesbians from this kind of harassment.

You don't need JH to remind you ... just refer to this section of the Equality Act 2010:

the Explanatory Notes explaining Section 12: Sexual Orientation:

This is one of the brave women at the march today. Last year she was on the other side of the fence.

Consciousness raising only goes one way.

That's absolutely wonderful Ova.
Charlie Evans, you're amazing Flowers

@Bespin can you offer any evidence to the contrary?

@LangCleg I believe I last saw Jacky on Spinster. It's where all the cool kids hang out don't cha know 😉

Flowers to CharlieSci, if you're reading this.

And YY, your observation that men taught you to hate your female body is bang on the nail.

When men teach us to fear their lust, they teach us to fear our own bodies.

it was never funny back then either, when men come up to you and say it in gay bars.

Corrective rape is still a problem for lesbians in many parts of the world, we wont tolerate it here.

LangCleg · 24/08/2019 22:51

How does that work ?

Well, that's the actual binary, isn't it?

Women who say no = bad women.

Women who don't = acceptable women.

why don't you want to debate, I thought things not being up for debate was just silancing people there's whole articles in the Times about that.

That was my dads idea of a joke back in the day...he would say he was a make lesbian

Not so fucking funny now is it! Though to be fair he has stopoed doing that now

TinselAngel · 24/08/2019 22:49

why don't you like lesbians?

  • "Hello Pot, this is Kettle calling? Have I told you you're black?"
sackrifice · 24/08/2019 22:49

do i beleive there is a discussion to be had, totally but here does not seem to be the place it will happen.

Discussing whether lesbians should be allowed to like dick or not, still rapey.

Leave lesbians alone.

LangCleg · 24/08/2019 22:49

I wish Jacky Holyoake wasn't banned so she could remind us of the bit in the EA2010 that explains the meaning of of lesbian in law. I remember it says same sex.

I second this emotion.

Wherever you are, Jacky, I love you. Glitterball

Of course they would, a hulking 'transwoman' standing over them saying 'you like penis, yes?' Jesus - you have no fucking idea do you?

have you ever seen that happen in all the years.
