Gay man 'bullied' off Manchester Pride for wearing LGB Alliance hat and t-shirt

The man himself, Alexander Bramham on GB News:

PurgatoryOfPotholes thanks for posting that. That is a very hard thing to read. But it's important to be aware.

So its not being treated as a hate incident, even thought the victim is gay, and it happened because of his sexual orientation?

I was reading that there's been complaints that the event headline act was a straight man, this has disappointed twinks according to Pink News (their word) who would prefer a famous woman to headline along the lines of Ariana. The reaction to the complaints is that they should be glad it's someone from the "community".

The man they picked can be seen online with a string of girlfriends, but because he's been interviewed once when he asserted himself to be pansexual, he's in the queer community!

It really is a heterosexual event now, without the "queer" heterosexual pound it would collapse from lack of interest.

GBNews are covering this

Nothing on the BBC News website, though they have got something about M&S not doing men's suits anymore and there was a fire in a restaurant.

extract from a article about that post

For reasons of personal safety and livelihood, I can’t tell you who I am. But I can tell you this much: I’m a progressive feminist who has spent years working on the front lines of the left. I have opposed conservatism my entire political life in the most strident of terms; under other circumstances, I wouldn’t admit to even reading this site.

Yet, I’ve known for a while that questioning the official narrative of transgender activism (a cause championed wholeheartedly and without question by nearly everyone on the left) can get you blacklisted from media and political work.

People I thought of as friends and colleagues have turned into thought police, and anyone who dares to question the official line is intimidated into capitulation and silence — or forced to find another line of work. So I’m writing you like this, here, to ask you to think carefully about the public safety impacts of the story you’re about to read.

On March 26th, 2016, there was a certain rape. Let me be more specific: a prominent transgender (born male) activist raped another transgender (born female) person and bragged about it on the Internet.

Both the details of the event and the larger circumstances matter, because the truth matters.

No worries, Grombke, I had to reread my own post to check I’d typed what I thought I’d typed!

I didn't buy a beanie, because I'm more of a trilby woman than a woolly hat one.

Did get a T-shirt, though

"trans lives matter" is that cultural appropriation?

Is it like "blue lives matter"?

I did!

My heid's away with the madness of it all.

Brief statement from LGBA. Honestly, I wonder if it wasn't for them, who would speak for the LGB?

Not Stonewall
Not Pride

Who then?

The black LGBA hat is now sold out, I wonder if they all went today.

Well, the difference between transwomen and men is indeed something invisible, as I understand it. A gender identity is something that can’t be seen, or even defined, as far as I know.

The cock and balls is pretty fucking visible.‘

Well, yes, and that would apply to most transwomen as well as men.

I’m wondering if you thought I said women not men?

They weren't comparing transwomen and men.

They were comparing trans women and women. The difference of which is pretty fucking stark and VERY visible!

The cock and balls is pretty fucking visible.

to quote Magdalen - What will it take??

I'll be there, boyo.

Transwomen aren't denied any rights in the UK.

You are right Floral they are not, they do, however, want more rights at the expense of others.

I've asked till I'm blue in the face as to what rights TW's don't have and answer comes there none.

Same scenario with what rights the LGBA are apparently stripping from Trans people - tumbleweed.

They're not lesbians though, and they've never had the right to be that or force anyone else to pretend they are

Agree and it is abhorrent that they are aiming to do so.

Sounds like they need a police visit to me.

#Emily Wilding Davison just re-posted this response she found on Twitter to the LGBA's announcement of their conference in October. She's rightly asking whether this counts as hate speech.

Invisible difference? That takes some tucking!

According to the GB news he was pushed and his shirt grabbed

It's beyond parody.
