To think that gay and lesbian people should be able to have a conference in peace

[nothingcomestonothing]

Transactivists have tried to disrupt the LGBA conference by releasing insects into the venue. It's disgusting . Because they don't think gay men and lesbians should be allowed to meet peacefully without them.

No one is stopping transpeople from having events by themselves, why shouldn't gay men and lesbians be able to meet if that's what they want to do? It's just repackaged homophobia - same sex attracted people aren't allowed to have their own conference.

TRAs are pathetic, they also disrupt feminist meetings, they are thugs.

Sounds very childish. Were you at the Conference? And if so how was it ?

Homophobic brats. I was at the conference and it was excellent, with a lot of wonderful speakers and a video message from J K Rowling.

Oh that is wonderful to hear! Glad this ridiculous prank didn't spoil things. The smirks on their faces is sickening.

I may have fangirled at Lizzy Pitt -the lesbian social worker who was banned from her employer's LGBT group for not believing that her colleague's sausage dog was gender fluid

Gender fluid sausage dog 😂 😂 😂

It'd be funny if it wasn't so batshit.

Disgusting homophobia. I hope these despicable people are charged

These people have a god complex. A plague of insects indeed

Wtaf. I can understand one person being crazy enough to think their dog would be upset by being misgendered, but for other people to go along with it! 😱

I feel really sorry for the cleaners who had to sort the mess out. And surely that's pretty unethical?

Was pathetic kids

I heard that the Conference was a great success despite the homophobes.

Leaving a trail of live insects for cleaning staff to clear up shows how cranially challenged, and self absorbed, these gobshites are.

Stupid children.

In contrast, there was a brave & brilliant young lesbian who’s doing TikTok videos & who reminded me of Magdalen Berns - who she said inspired her.

I’m concerned that there are people who think you’re being unreasonable.

Yanbu, or course.

Glad to hear it!

Pest control and fumigation, surely. Expensive. I hope the activists are now facing charges for criminal damage and homophobic hate crime. If there is a huge fine involved perhaps their parents will finally be galvanised to say enough is enough. (They look very young indeed from the pictures I've seen. Suggestion is that they are same bunch of schoolkids who camped outside the Department of Education in the summer holidays.)

So that person thinks its unreasonable for lesbians and gays to have a conference

homophobic much?

Blatant homophobia.

They really did look very young. I wonder who put them up to it.

Why are they making living creatures suffer? I’m no vegan but this is cruel.

It’s time for us all to point out the dachshund’s bollocks and bite back

quote of the week, thank you @nothingcomestonothing

How pathetic. If you don’t like people you disagree with having a meeting that’s fine, protest if you must. But this is just childish.

Of course you're not, can't even imagine why 2% of Mumsnetters voting on this would disagree.

I hope they file animal abuse charges against the people who did it. They might be insects not mammals but it is still cruelty to do that to them. I bet that didn’t even occur to them

Traumatised because someone pointed out that using "they" to describe one person is grammatically incorrect!

That article takes the biscuit
