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

Yup….honestly! 🤨

Media outlets note: the 'LGB Alliance' does not represent lesbian, gay or bisexual people in any shape or form.

Well apart form the LGB people who set it up and the LGB membership, obvs.....

Good grief, how did anyone write something that stupid?

Watching that video of the chanting mob’s ugly behaviour and I was trying to remember what it reminded me of, then it came to me…

…Orwell’s Two Minutes Hate.

So just to clarify... Owen Jones is delighted a straight (queer heterosexual?!?!) woman had a gay man removed from Manchester pride for wearing the logo of a charity that supports gay, lesbian and bisexual people who are same sex attracted? Stop the world I want to get off.

Sympathies 💐

The first post on that thread comes from someone very hard of thinking….

Media outlets note: the 'LGB Alliance' does not represent lesbian, gay or bisexual people in any shape or form.

Is that a typo? Did he mean to say:

"'Stonewall' does not represent lesbian, gay or bisexual people in any shape or form."

or
"'Pride' does not represent lesbian, gay or bisexual people in any shape or form."

In 1976, the San Francisco Pride was joined by the Dykes on Bikes, lesbians on motorcycles who led the 2,000 marchers which started a new tradition.

In 1978 the rainbow flag was first used in San Francisco Pride. Harvey Milk, the San Francisco Supervisor who was the first openly gay elected official in California, challenged his friend, gay rights activist Gilbert Baker, to come up with a symbol of pride for the community. Thirty volunteers hand-dyed and stitched together two of the rainbow flags he designed.

The T&Q were added later as Pride grew in popularity and the names of the marches changed from Gay Pride to just Pride.

It’s so sad to me that video. Pride and the rainbow flag are literally being taken away from the creators of it.

Pride has been hijacked. I certainly see nothing left there to be 'proud' of.

Quite on message isn’t he Gasp0de?

Rather a lot of reality denial there.

"Why do you support homophobia?"

Enough of the loaded questions, thanks.

So let me see if I have this right…

The organisation set up to advocate for the rights of same-sex attracted people switched focus to advocating for the rights of people who identify as other than their birth sex - which is not a sexual orientation - and centred same-gender attraction in place of same-sex attraction.

Many supporters of this organisation began to claim that same-sex attraction is transphobic and that same-sex attracted people should get over their “genital preference” and open themselves up to the idea of dating people they are not attracted to.

A proportion of same-sex attracted people realised the original organisation no longer represented their views and set up a new organisation that retains the focus on same-sex attraction. Transpeople who are same-sex attracted are welcome to join this organisation.

Supporters of the original organisation tried to get the new organisation delisted as a charity, tried to remove crowdfunders raising money for the organisation - money that would be used to support same-sex attracted people - tried to get the new organisation banned from Twitter and have now bullied a same-sex attracted man away from the parade set up to celebrate same-sex attracted people.

And it’s LGB Alliance that are the hate group???

LGB Alliance supporters aren't welcome in a gay pride? Gosh I wonder why.

So come on then tell us why @MargaritaPie.

That video need to be posted on each page.

I do not think it quite shows what some posters think it does. But hey ho… some posters seem proud of it. Proud to support a group who cannot allow a person with a different opinion to attend an event meant, supposedly, for them.

Pride is no longer accepting of homosexuality.

As 'they' chanted - trans lives matter. Not gay ones!

@FloralBunting
Pride is about celebrating the TQ

It wasn’t originally...Pride started as Gay Pride.

“Now known as the first Pride parades, the gay liberation marches that took place in New York and other U.S. cities in 1970 were raucous celebrations of identity—and a provocative peek at the decades of activism to follow.”

“On June 28, thousands of people converged in Greenwich Village and began to march. According to the New York Times, the line of participants extended 15 blocks from head to foot. (Although organizers told the paper there were 3,000, 8,000, or as many as 20,000 people there, a police officer estimated “at least 1,000.”) Shirtless men walked hand in hand and kissed publicly. Picketers held signs that declared their sexual orientation. And demonstrators shouted slogans like “Gay power,” “Gay is okay,” and “Gay, gay, all the way!” Press coverage of the parade focused mainly on the marchers, but pointed to bystanders who “eagerly clicked their cameras...tittered...many were obviously startled by the scene.”

“As we kept going, the crowd grew and grew,” activist Jerry Hoose told TimeOut New York’s Raven Snook in a 2019 interview. “No one who was there can talk about it without goose bumps. I always say that gay liberation was conceived at Stonewall in 1969 and born at that first march.” The marchers paraded from Greenwich Village to Central Park, where they held a gay-in gathering with speeches and socializing.”

LGB Alliance supporters aren't welcome in a gay pride? Gosh I wonder why

A gay man has been removed from Pride for his own safety for supporting a registered charity that advocates for same-sex attracted people.

Same-sex attracted people-that is gay men, lesbians and bisexuals. Remember them? Pride is for them too, you know, not just the TQ+ and men that like dressing up as baby girls or dogs.

Pretty sad that these extremists don't see how sinister they are. Ganging up on and bullying a man for having a different opinion to them, then acting surprised when their bigotry and hatred results in the man being assaulted/robbed. Hiding behind a pretty flag and chanting a mantra doesn't justify homophobia.

''Pride''. This is nothing to be proud of, this fucking shameful.

That poor man.

Agree with every word Floral

It's an insult on multiple levels to LGB people.

I used to work with a lad who would complain "Why are there no parades for straight people?😢" He'd be so happy to see this.

Pride is now not just for straight people but for homophobic straight people too! 🌈

LGB Alliance supporters aren't welcome in a gay pride? Gosh I wonder why.

I'll tell you why. Because it's not gay pride anymore. It's T and Q pride. Deeply homophobic. And you seem to support that. Why do you support homophobia?
