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

I have been married twice to women and am very attracted to them, but now in my 50s finally I have decided freedom is attainable. I have now bought a short skirt and shaved my body. Though not doing makeup.

Apropos of nothing in particular, do you know what I have found numerous times on twitter? The gentleman or lady who lambasts gay men and lesbians for being "trans exclusive" often has a history of using extremely unpleasant language about transsexuals, back when that was fashionable. The kind of language I myself have never used. Damien Barr is one example.

You're also revising history. He had his hat stolen (robbery), was verbally abused, had things thrown at him. He wasn't moved on, he approached police officers for protection and they escorted him away for his safety.

Because he wore a t-shirt saying LGB Alliance. Which stands for Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Alliance, which is exactly what Stonewall UK used to be prior to 2015.

The pretzel like twisting going on condemning this man and justifying his treatment at the hands of that mob is very illuminating.

So much acceptance, tolerance and kindness on display - sarcasm.

It's actively turning up at Pride in a trans exclusive tshirt.

Stop with the misinformation.

LGB Alliance has trans supporters I believe. It represents any trans person who wishes advocacy for being same sex oriented not the recent pivot made by Stonewall to represent same gender oriented people.

You obviously have your own agenda at play here.

This is nuts! If I wear a t shirt with I love roses on it, I wouldn't expect to be chased down the road by people screaming " daffodils are valid! "

I really recommend the comedy series Jerk. It’s on iplayer. In one episode a character introduces herself as ‘pan-sexual, but I don’t fancy women

I'll take a look.

So it's not acceptable for someone to be homosexual. There we have it.

It’s not bloody ‘trans exclusive’ to be lesbian or gay!

Because I tell you this I wouldn't.

Neither would I.

'' Wearing clothes that stand out''
It's Pride for LGBT +.
It's hardly' 'just wearing clothes that stand out' ' is it?

Is it surprising that a crowd of people chant' 'Trans Lives Matter?' ' at them? and police move them on?

BlueberryCheezecake posted that excuse of crowd violence and aggression against an attendee for what he was wearing.

NoNotMeNoSiree and BilindaB both thought it was a wonderful post.

I want to hear what you have to say for yourselves now I've pointed out the very obvious parallels.

Anything else you'd like to get off your chest about women in short skirts? Would you claim a transgender person was asking for violence if he/she/they were wearing clothes that made them stand out?

Because I tell you this, I wouldn't. It doesn't matter what someone is wearing, or how much I disagree with them, you can not use other people's clothes to justify crimes against them.

Clearly you're not of the same view. Buy a new moral compass, because the one you have is broken.

Alongside being a special label to excuse their active homophobia.

Yes, amazing what horrors can be hidden behind a special label isn't it.

It means she really wants to be interesting but doesn’t actually want to have a relationship with a woman.

Yes that's how I'd interpret it. Alongside being a special label to excuse their active homophobia.

Almost as if these excuses and justifications were written and being voiced by MRAs deeply embedded in the patriarchy.

And yet there were hundreds of gay men there who weren't kicked out so it's almost like the issue wasn't that he was gay, but that he turned up wearing apparel from a hate group to an event supposed to celebrate the very people that hate group targets

This reminds me of the classic misogynistic line that "she was asking for it, going out dressed like that".

You may not realise this, but this is a feminism forum. We don't stand for people claiming that they can't help themselves when they see other people's clothing.

Take responsibility for your violence and aggression and stop putting the blame for your actions on other people's wardrobes.

Everyone who isn't trans must be excluded from everything.

Do keep up your rancid bullying and sooner or later it will blow up in your faces. It'll be an absolute joy to see one of you made an example of.

Hell yes. 💥

It can't come soon enough.

The TRA and supporters chants about tolerance, inclusivity, being free to be what you are - except if you are an exclusively same sex attracted gay man who supports an organisation that supports him.

Simon Callow was right the actions shown in those videos are tyranny worthy of an authoritarian, totalitarian state.

All this acceptance that the TRAs and their supporters blather on about is an absolute lie. There is nothing progressive or tolerant about this ideology it is damned with their own words and actions every time.

Although, as this is the LibDems website, I'm willing to be corrected

Woof. 🐕🐩🐶🐾

The homophobic bullies seem to be forgetting that same-sex attraction is a protected characteristic. GC beliefs are protected. LGB Alliance are a legal registered charity. Therefore, a gender critical same-sex attracted man supporting a charity that advocates for him at an event that is supposed to be inclusive of gay men in not a crime.

The homophobes mistakenly believe that they're on the 'right side of history'. But make no mistake here-you're on the wrong side of the law. Do keep up your rancid bullying and sooner or later it will blow up in your faces. It'll be an absolute joy to see one of you made an example of.
