They were told to leave the march! Angry

Of course they were. Pride is a cosy rainbow of "hush now!" as it currently stands

Yes it's really sinister. At the same time as pride has gone mainstream and corporate, a group of people for whom pride was originally designed try to protest about their experience of homophobia and are asked to leave.

These actions are considered cultural genocide when directed against indigenous peoples;

(d) Any form of assimilation or integration by other cultures or ways of life imposed on them by legislative, administrative or other measures;
(e) Any form of propaganda directed against them.

Telling lesbians that they have to take dick or they are bigots fits the definition.

Raising a big gin to these women Gin

Pride has never been L-inclusive. Actually scrap that, it has never been woman-inclusive.

They've been told to remove the signs that say lesbian = female homosexual.

Surely to God, that will not go unnoticed. Officially.

That must make people sit up.

A lie down protest, it's the only sensible thing to do in this weather. I salute you all.

You'd hope, Datun.

Unfortunately I think it's more likely to elicit a response along the lines of 'How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?'

Their petition for support was removed from Change.org, which seems a bit fascistic, so much for freedom of speech, but their contact is via

Brilliant. Well done them. Great flyer too.

wow. Pride is not what it was.

I agree with the comment that Pride is hush now, look at the rainbow.
Any reminder that they as a group might encounter extra misogyny ontop of the regular misogyny and they are told to leave..... wow.

I'm moved by their courage.
