Surrey Pride Petition calling for criminalisation of LGB Alliance and 'TERF's'

[SmileOrDie]

''We also urge the government to recognise the messaging in events, literature and posts from extreme organisations such as the LGB alliance and TERF's whose sole purpose is to split up the LGBTQ+ community and deliver hurtful hate that is and should be recognised as hate crime.''

Fair point I just think it's very similar.

So some supporters of anything LGBTXYZ reckon an LGB group is inciting hate because it hasn't included the T yet those same people appear to be incapable of starting their own group using just the T but then I suppose they could be committing a hate crime against LGB.

I think I've just blown my own mind and I think RuffleCrow has hit the nail on the head.

I've never seen a more bizarre reason for a petition

I’m imagining myself back in the early 90s, explaining to my uni LGB soc that 30 years on, Pride would be protesting against the right of LGB to define itself as same sex attracted and campaign for those rights to be upheld.

It’s fucking insane.

Oh dear

All I've got now in my head is Richard Attenborough dancing around singing 'I've never seen anything like it in my life'.

Batshit. Please no one report it, this needs to be shared as widely as possible, just not for the reasons the petition writers think.

The people who are directly responsible for splitting up this 'community' are those who have made exclusively same-sex attracted women unwelcome, surely? And those who labelled 'old school transsexuals' as 'truscum'.

Indeed so. I was first at university in 1976 and 'gaysoc' ran the best discos, at which women straight or lesbian could dance safe in the knowledge blokes wouldn't harass them. 'LesDance' ones were even better.

Now, it seems as a woman of any sexuality you can't - just can't say no...

Oh, bring it. Go on.

Am contemplating a petition against misuse of apostrophes myself.

Your apostrophe petition will get more signatures than this one in, I don't know, a day or two.

Oh dear....is someone angry that without the LG and B they cant yell homophobe at people to stop them questioning anything?

Why else would anyone object to a group defending the rights of lesbian gay and bisexual people? No one cares there a multiple animal protection charities. No one yells " what about the dogs" to the cats protection league .

Why cant there be more than one agency dealing with LGB.....

There's even an app for reporting hate crime now in co-operation with Surrey Police.

Perhaps LGB Alliance should use it to report Pride.

Good Lord! How homophobic are they?

Answer: totally

Oh God! Stephen bloody Ireland! Who rattled his cage?! 🙄

You can report this to 38 degrees directly.
At the bottom the link that says 'flag' under the category.

I have reported the petition for being homophobic, advocating for the criminalisation of LGB people and promoting hate speech.

If they can report the shit out of everything of ours I’m gonna report this hateful piece of shit.

All the times some stupid idiot has accused me of calling for a new section 28 and these morons have done just that.

It says something about the state of things when you are called a radical for stating biological facts about women and vaginas and men and penises.

A stop-the-world-I'm-getting-off-now moment when a transwoman with a penis is calling lesbians bigots (transphobes) for not wanting to be with a transwoman with a penis. What an absolutely idiotic mess surrounding the TWAW rubbish.

It's good that app imnbody4

Have flagged it up with reasons.

@Tanith

"Oh God! Stephen bloody Ireland! Who rattled his cage?! 🙄"

I think he's identifying as a dilophosaurus.

Maybe Ireland is behind the original attack on the LGB Alliance crowdfunder that made it go offline?

I've flagged it too as a homophobic hate campaign. I'm just going to have a look at the app.

Who is Stephen Ireland?

On the far right. He's Comms Director at Pride UK, Director (along with his colleague and his partner Charlie, far left of image) of Surrey Pride and a presenter on a local radio station.

Anyone want to email Pride Uk?

Anybody want to email the radio station he works for, tell them they have a homophobe and a misogynist in their employ?

I'm not able to Whatis but I'd encourage others to

The Comms Director for Pride UK starts a homophobic petition. Strange times indeed.

I'm not really one for stooping to the TRA tactics, but one really does have to draw the line at an actual homophobic petition being promoted by Pride surely?
