Its pretty extraordinary Accio & this is not the only protest Jess Bradley was involved with. Have you seen the clip of Jess, current NUS officer Rob Noon and others (from Action for Trans Health) protesting in Scotland.
(Jess Bradley is bumped out of the way by a marching pipers band- linked previously on thread and worth watching)
I was also reading recently protest against Prides for bisexual rights that Edward Lord was involved with. Lord's 2017 comments are worth comparing with the statement from 'Get the L Out' following Pride London:
"Yesterday’s release of the Community Advisory Board’s annual report into this year’s Pride in London, and the social media storm that followed, was an interesting and painful experience for me. Whilst the wave of euphoria that I have felt supporting the CAB from bi and queer friends, and from those who feel that Pride has lost its edge as a protest and become too corporate, has been very welcome; the sharp criticism from the lesbian and gay mainstream, especially Pride’s organisers has been uncomfortable and name-calling.
This year’s CAB report was critical, and unashamedly so. It pointed out real and serious failings by the Pride organisers around issues of diversity and inclusion, especially of BAME and bi people. The response from the Pride Board has failed to address any of the significant and genuine concerns about diversity, but has instead focused on process, and attempted to undermine the members of the CAB. They have said that our report isn’t statistically based, that we are unrepresentative, that we don’t portray the majority opinion which was favourable about Pride. But that’s exactly the point. We’re not here to speak for the majority. The Community Advisory Board exists to represent those who aren’t necessarily in the lesbian and gay mainstream, to ensure their voices – those of the marginalised, the excluded, the erased – are heard and that this is their Pride too."
