The latest bit of insanity out of Wales.

So this organisation, which takes public money to serve the community, decided to cancel its event because it wasn't allowed to unlawfully discriminate.

Carmarthenshire Winter Pride claims it had to cancel tomorrow's pride because the Free Speech Union threatened legal action over the pride's not allowing GC person/ people to attend.

The aim of the event was to bring organisations and people together to promote equality, inclusion and to fight hate.

"discrimination of any kind will NOT be tolerated"

And then they cancelled it when they realised that they wanted to to tolerate and practice unlawful discrimination.

It was due to be a gala event with Dame Nia Griffith, Joyce Watson MS and Adam Price ex leader of Plaid all due to be speaking. And they cancelled it to stop some lesbian women-of-a-certain age from coming.

Newsflash this event was designed to discriminate not only against gender critical people, but against Muslims, Catholics and a lot of generally religious people too, not to mention most ordinary people who think sex is real.

The heroic lesbians concerned and the amazing Free Speech Union are not putting up with this nonsense any longer. How long till everyone admits Wales has a problem?

This is just after Plaid one of the major Welsh political parties tried to argue in the Senedd for legalising uncontrolled medical experiments on kids.

Earlier this year Plaid admitted they were massive Sexists, not surprising in a party plagued by sex scandals :

GC views aren't a protected characteristic? So how is it discrimination?

Have you not heard of the Forstater ruling? Gender critical beliefs are protected under the EA2010.

Reminds me of the Puritans flouncing off on the Mayflower because James I stopped them from persecuting Catholics.

Also, they called it the Equalities Act and spelt whose as who's. They are monsters.

At least we now know how to get PRIDE events shut down. Just join in.

Yes, lesbians have long been unwelcome, and unsafe at pride marches. I haven't forgotten the bloke who shouted to a cheering crowd that the same sex lesbians protesting at pride ought to have been "dragged off by their saggy tits".

The tide is turning. Perhaps they'll arrange a "Spicy Straights and Men who Like to Dress as Babies" event for next year?

The TQ+ lot say that people should be tolerant and accept difference but only towards the approved people.

A visit to a really lovely little town in Carmarthenshire last year was blighted by the tacky and rather unpleasant Pride element of what I assumed was normally a very pleasant summer music and classic cars event.
We cut our visit short as a result.
