Yes it’s great to see more people talking about it and not shying away from answering the question.

Good to hear this being said in everyday conversation and interviews with non-activists. The more people hear this, the more will have a WTF? moment and realise Stonewall is no longer about harmless gay rights.
Lols. The same thing being said about Stonewall now is what they said about gay rights under section 28 in the 80s.

The struggle was on then, and it continues today.

Trans equality is nor harmful. All they are looking for is equality and fair treatment. Providing equality to someone else is not trampling over someone elses rights. Its an additive.

Sadly people cant see this and beat down on a vulnerable set of people just trying to live their lives and fit in. How very brave.

Sex is a protected characteristic, and there remain protections for sex only places where a legitimate purpose. But everything else really smacks of bigotry just like the very same arguments were used against queer people in the 1980s.

Hard to see it when you are in the middle of an echo chamber of fog.

Not very coherent but I'm pleased more people are speaking up. More sunlight on the issue

No idea who he is but I watched the clip and pretty much agree with him. I think the more people willing to say they disagree with the erasure of women and put their names to it is a good thing.

Google is your friend, Nutella. I didn't know him either but I'm pleased he said what he did.

Thanks for the link. It’s reassuring that these discussions about Stonewall have moved from drip drip to a river of people standing up.

I don’t think Stonewall UK will look back on Pride month 2021 and remember it as one of their best.
