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

LibDem activist delighted by this. Here are two of her tweets. The gay man who turned up in an LGB hat and t-shirt was allegedly advised by police to leave for his own safety and seems to have had the hat stolen.

Another young fool tweeted that 'bullying the guy in the LGB Alliance shirt who came to the protest march is my favourit part of Pride so far xx'. He has since deleted this (possibly because he is now sober and/or has seen how many people had reported this to his employers) and now claims he was just chanting 'Trans lives matter!'. 'Bullying' is an odd choice of words for this. How could anyone think admitting publicly to 'bullying' was a good look?

The LGB Alliance man has been advised that people shouting at him is actually assault if he wants to take it further. Doesn't sound like he does, though.

Unedifying, to say the least.

So much of the hatred is from (some of) the T to the LGB. And stonewall claiming that intolerance and violence has risen towards the LGBTQ + community. Whilst forgetting to mention that much of this hatred is driven from inside by the T. Stonewall are not innocent here. They have helped create this hostile environment for the LGB.

Pride is about celebrating the TQ.

LGB people are there to provide credibility to a group of glittery narcissists, so when someone does something to remind the narcs that they are just oppression tourists and hobbyists and that a significant amount of LGB people won't play along, they respond with fury.

I am proud to be going to the LGB Alliance conference in October. I am a lesbian, and it's taken me years to be able to say that without a ripple of shame in my belly.

If you think you can make me shut up about now, you can fuck off all the way back to the 1950's where you and all the other arseholes wedded to gender stereotypes belong.

I think the new ‘hate group’ descriptor will become as overused and has lost the power it once had through its hyperbolic application. It has simply become another way to virtue signal and distracts from the real hate groups.

But please do continue, Blueberry. Each time you post on a thread it gives a real time demonstration of the silencing tactics of activists who seem to hate women talking and, now, gay men wearing apparel from their support group.

A support group by the way that doesn’t not exclude trans people from their remit, merely doesn’t centre trans rights. But, apparently a hate group according to some rather narrow minded people who have somehow got the impression they are wonderfully liberal.

Symptoms of echo chamber overexposure right there…

It's very similar to McCarthyism in 1950s America, isn't it? In that case it was fear of communism, but the actions were the same, people being bullied, investigated for 'wrong thinking' on little evidence, losing their jobs and being blacklisted.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 29/08/2021 13:16

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you that The Guardian haven’t mentioned this in their article
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/aug/29/spate-of-attacks-across-uk-sparks-fear-among-lgbtq-community

How often did we say on here that forcing the T&Q in with LGB would result in a backlash that would Affect LGB ppl in particular & undo so much that had been achieved. It’s so fucking frustrating to see it happening. For fucks fucking sake!!

Jorriss · 29/08/2021 13:11

but that he turned up wearing apparel from a hate group to an event supposed to celebrate the very people that hate group targets

Why is it a hate group? Can you provide some examples of this?

GrimDamnFanjo · 29/08/2021 13:11

Sums up why I left the LibDems. I was an activist, Councillor etc.
They really do hate women.

HDDD · 29/08/2021 13:09

I sincerely hope some clueless people watch this godawful video and it opens their eyes

CuriousaboutSamphire · 29/08/2021 12:51

You can only get away with calling LGBA a hate group when talking with those who think same sex attraction is itself hateful.

Anywhere else and you just sound deluded, sad.

Abhannmor · 29/08/2021 12:47

So @BlueberryCheezecake ..Pride is just about trans rights. Thanks for clearing that up. And it was a queer straight woman who set the mob on him. How many of them were actually gay I wonder.

MarshmallowSwede · 29/08/2021 12:44

What is a queer heterosexual?

It sounds like made up nonsense from someone who wants to be “cool” and use this very trendy label that’s popular these days.

Being heterosexual is boring, so all cool ppl are all of sudden queer. Give it a rest. You’re boring and a nuisance at best. Saying you’re queer doesn’t change that.

happydappy2 · 29/08/2021 12:42

in what way are LGB Alliance a hate group??

I'm genuinely baffled. Is protecting the rights of same sex attracted people now hateful?

PlanDeRaccordement · 29/08/2021 12:42

You are sadly ignorant on the history of Pride. Pride was founded for LGB people. The event was originally to celebrate LGB, not trans or queer people. The T&Q were welcomed and included in decades later, and this is how they are repaying that generosity and inclusiveness, by excluding the founding pioneers, the LGBs from Pride.

There is also no proof he is a terf. Wearing an original t-shirt from early years of Pride could simply be his way of showing he’s been a Pride member for over twenty years....from the days before T & Q. The members of the crowd were simply jumping to a prejudiced conclusion and indulging in illegal street harassment.

You are also sadly ignorant about LGB Alliance, it is not a hate group in the slightest.

Please go read up on Pride.

MarshmallowSwede · 29/08/2021 12:40

So they have admitted to be homophobes. Why is anyone supporting TRA groups? It’s a hate organization. Hate against gays and lesbians and against natal born women.

I saw a horrific video of a young lesbian woman who had attended an event and went to live in a commune. She had been “educated” about her genitals preferences and how she was transphobic to not want to have sex with a man or a trans woman with a penis. She said she saw the light.. and had changed her mind and now was ok with “lady dick”.

What stuck out to me was whenever this young woman spoke about having sex with a trans lesbian (a man) her face became red and she was obviously Distressed and anxious. But she was saying all the right words.

She had been to an event and first been bullied to “change her mindset” towards trans. You can’t even be gay or lesbian in public anymore.

I feel sorry for actual gay and lesbian people now.

And demanding sexual access to people is abusive. No one has tk date you and you’re not owed sex.

Being same sex attracted is not a crime and it is not transphobic.

Artichokeleaves · 29/08/2021 12:35

The 'hate' was saying that he was homosexual. That was it. That was all.

But yes, thank you for that example of absolute intolerance.

PlanDeRaccordement · 29/08/2021 12:35

I watched the video. It is so dystopian.
To think Pride, founded for LGB people, has become purely T and the crowd thinks its ok to heckle and harass a gay man simply for supporting the LGB Alliance....or 75% of LGBT
Proof that the T should never have been added to LGB and welcomed by LGB Alliance because Ts and their Allies are blatantly homophobic.

yourhairiswinterfire · 29/08/2021 12:34

but that he turned up wearing apparel from a hate group to an event supposed to celebrate the very people that hate group targets.

You misspelt 'legal, registered LGB charity' :)

Being same-sex attracted and supporting a registered charity that advocates for same-sex attracted people is not a crime. Homophobia is though.

MistandMud · 29/08/2021 12:32

What’s your actual beef with LGBAlliance and their aims, Blueberry? If they don’t represent your own views, just support other charities.

MistandMud · 29/08/2021 12:31

Ok, that was meant to be ‘same’ not sane, but you get the gist.

MistandMud · 29/08/2021 12:30

What’s hateful about being only sane-sex attracted and saying so?

Nobody is saying that being only same-gender attracted should be criticised. If you love outwardly masculine people only, that’s fine.

LGBAlliance is a legitimate charity and sells t shirts. What’s hateful about that?

alkanet · 29/08/2021 12:28

A queer heterosexual??? These kids are the first to start shrieking about cultural appropriation and yet they have stolen Pride and turned on a gay man doing nothing more than wearing a T shirt they don't like.

Redshoeblueshoe · 29/08/2021 12:27

Except LGBA are not a hate group

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 29/08/2021 12:27

@GreyhoundG1rl

Apparently she's a queer heterosexual A what??
Not Like The Other Girls.
BlueberryCheezecake · 29/08/2021 12:22

@Artichokeleaves

Yay I bullied a gay man out of Pride for being homosexual. Hmm

Would someone tell me the difference now between this and say the EDL? I know the targeted characteristics differ, but the thug behaviour, intolerance and attitude..... ? Looking very similar to me. This is just becoming an excuse to be vile to other people and get away with it.

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. It's like if someone wearing an EDL shirt turned up to a BLM rally, and then tried to spin it on twitter that they were made to leave just for being white.
