BBC News website: UK Pride groups suspend involvement of political parties

It's bloody tragic. It took LGB people decades to get people to see them as being like anyone else instead of sexually deviant. But now Pride's declared against the SC, that's homosexuals and women with trans identities bounced too, as they were two of the three groups the SC were protecting the rights of. You'd think Pride would be celebrating that. There isn't much left in that emptied out shell but largely straight men.

Still waiting to hear what 'trans rights’ actually are. The rights to do and say whatever you want, wherever you want and whenever you want and be bankrolled by the state?
I don’t remember any laws being passed to this effect.

Actually, I just realised how ludicrous that joke sounds.

It's come to something when Pride has managed to make politicians look like a bunch of clean living exemplars.

And politicians throughout the land breathed a sigh of relief and hung up their ballgags and leather harnesses for ever.

How many Prides do we have now - thinking of the general one and the trans one?

Because they're all now for the same single group. There's no diversity of any kind. They don't need two.

There's a propaganda technique that has been talked about a lot in the media in the last few years.

Its about trying to inflate the level of support you look like you have to create more of a bandwagon effect.

The example thats been really well publicised, is the size of Trump's crowds.

They are doing the same thing here.

Thank you Pride for helpfully demonstrating that there is absolutely no reasoning with TQ+ activists. Nothing less than full capitulation to all demands will do. The batshit gender woo Greens and fawning Lib Dems get the same short shrift as everyone else.

When people who haven't been paying attention and think we all need to meet in the middle and reach consensus come and explain to us that both sides are extreme and they're sure we can find a compromise, you are what we will point out to. So thanks so providing such a nice example of what we're talking about.

So it should read:

"For Women Scotland complained that ministers had included transgender women (biological men) as part of the quotas in that law."

I wonder if FWS can ask for that to be corrected? Otherwise they could be accused of discrimination 😲

Well there's nothing like speeding up your own irrelevancy.

Remove anyone who looks even remotely legitimate, so they can dance up and down admiring each other's butt plug tails and fake boobs?

Score !

I thought this bit was interesting:

"For Women Scotland complained that ministers had included transgender people as part of the quotas in that law."

That's not true, if it was that would be discrimination on the grounds of gender reassignment. The FWS complaint was about the inclusion of transgender women in all women shortlists, who the Supreme Court has clarified are men.

How very inclusive of them.

I am marvelling at the line where they demand the tax payer pays for mutilation AND we are expected to bank roll ‘support’ organisations - maybe their donations have dried up overnight?

So they want us to now pay for Mermaids?

Seriously.

Oh FFS.

The SC judgment was found as it was in order to protect the right of homosexuals, and of women with trans identities, they were two of the named given groups whose protections in law cannot be maintained without sex based reality.

So 'Pride' has just come out as being for nothing more than men with trans identities.

That's it. That's all they're about. Forget LGBT or anything else. The rainbow just does men the massive majority of whom are straight and destruction of women's rights. And finally they're being honest about it.

The politicians and everyone else is well out of it.

For the BBC it appears to be a well balanced article. It clearly differentiates between the LGB and the T stances on the supreme court.

I especially like the bit at the end where they emphasised that Lib Dems are still crazy 😂

I suspect you're right. No politician in their right mind would want to be linked to a sinking ship.

A Prideful Flounce!

Marvellous!

Are these people totally thick? Jesus.

Questions:

What have ‘all political parties’ got to do with a Supreme Court clarification of existing law?

Who on earth thought that ‘banning’ party politicians from putting on their hot pants and dancing down the street for a day was an effective lobbying strategy?

How will they enforce the ban? If I run down Old Compton Street with ‘Vote Communist’ painted across my tits in glitter, will security eject me from London??

Will they reinstate parties next year if they capitulate? What do the parties have to do to get back in Stonewall’s good books? Stand up in Parliament and shout ‘JK Rowling is a big fat poo poo head!’?

And isn’t a street party where political parties were ever ‘invited’ in the first place just the un-coolest thing ever?

So groups representing gay, lesbian and bisexual people (within pride?) welcomed the ruling, yet pride organisers still say it is anti-LGBTQABC+++

Do they actually remember what the LGB bit at the front of that alphabet soup stand for? Or do they just read it all as meaning trans?

I know, I should realise by now…

Good, the sooner LGBTQ+ gets assigned to the dustbin of history the better. Same sex attracted people can rebrand themselves as LGBA and Pride can go back to what it used to be, although I personally think Pride has had it's day, it's identifying as '....', that's got us to where we are today.

'Not invited to Pride'?😱😨😩😰😭
sorry, I've run out of sarcastic emojis.

This.

Pride and Stonewall have been corrupted from the inside out. Not money, but purpose and ethics abandoned, a parasite has taken over the host body which is in terminal decline.
I very much appreciate all the gays and lesbians fighting for their same sex attraction rights because in doing so they also protect my rights. I am eternally grateful for this. But I also very much understand why gay and lesbian rights at the most zoomed out level are dropping in popularity. What was once a shining cause for respect and decency has lost its standard bearers to a takeover by a diseased agressive authoritarian cancer.
Let them continue to make their threats. It will continue to have the same effect it always has, turning people away. The sooner the parasites kill off the hosts they have infected the better. They are beyond saving.
New bodies true to the original purpose of Stonewall and Pride are already growing. Organisations like LGB Alliance and many others have sprung up in the fertile space vacated by the now corrupted. Let these new organisations flourish while the corrupted draw their final last rasping breaths.

To be fair Labour are on thin ice anyway so doubt Keir would want to give Reform any more fuel to paint him as a woke out of touch prick (which he is).

Not even the Greens invited though, haha!

If you are a gay MP they are telling you "you belong to us, we own you, you should do everything we say or we will ex communicate you".

Cult much?

I think that the original founders of Pride and of Stonewall must be shaking their heads in disbelief. All that work it took to become so well enmeshed and now due to extreme tribalism, it is gone.

LGB rights have not been reversed by UK politicians, but by the groups themselves with the introduction of the other groups with the contradictory demands. This contradiction in outcomes has become clearer and clearer yet because of the success of the forced teaming there are many who cannot see those contradictions, or don’t want to see them.

I don’t see this threat from Pride working well. But it will just keep producing sound bites, but we already know that the UK population supports the SC judgement. Even before that the YouGov polls had shown support for prioritising sex above gender as each and every court case has been won and the changes ripple through.

It is a very strange decision though, because Pride is a political group. It relies on its political network to get power. It relies on that network to get flags flown for instance. Does this mean that these political flags will now stop being flown on government buildings and along streets?
