This is just so wrong. How can this happen in the 21st century. No oppressed group ever had such power. Just have to dig some more.

It's bullying. Misogynistic bullying. It's quite incredible

How on earth has the T managed to get so much more importance than the LGB? I know we all ask this, but how?

CharlieParley · 19/01/2020 12:05

The reactions to the tweet are interesting - it's a right laid down in the Equality Act that those sharing a protected characteristic can organise, meet and campaign together while excluding all those not sharing their protected characteristic.

But if all those reacting to the tweet saying she got what she deserved are to be believed, she committed a crime by wearing an LGB Alliance t-shirt.

However, if anyone had worn a Scottish Trans Alliance t-shirt, no one would have dared kick that person out.

Just another way the forced grouping of the T with the LGB has harmed the latter. The T is still allowed to stand on its own. Not so for the L, G and B whether alone or as a group representing homo- and bisexual people.

I was at the launch yesterday and that's a lovely young woman by the way. I'm so sorry this happened to her.

Datun · 19/01/2020 12:13

If she was kicked out because she is L, G or B, surely that's discrimination. Those are protected characteristics.

NeurotrashWarrior · 19/01/2020 12:20

Chilling that they took her to a space where there was no cctv to tell her their issue and only then they filmed to make out she was being difficult as she queried it.

And with no coat or keys.

DeeZastris · 19/01/2020 12:23

Seems to be a heck of a lot of men on twitter telling her how awful she is. No change from the past couple of millennia then 🤦‍♀️

This was obviously done in a way and at a place to provoke people and she clearly knows that too

? Why is wearing an LGB t shirt provoking?

noblegiraffe · 19/01/2020 12:50

Do LGB Alliance define themselves by their exclusion of trans people?

Is it a dog whistle t-shirt to be worn with an innocent face and the attempt of plausible deniability?

CharlieParley · 19/01/2020 12:51

Also, the UK government maintains a register of hate groups and the LGB Alliance is not on that register and will not be added either.

Because it is both legal and legitimate as well as reasonable and despite all the claims to the contrary not hateful, to found an organisation to advocate for all those sharing just one protected characteristic (here sexuality) and to leave advocating for those with different protected characteristics to other organisations.

cannot wear a clear hate slogan t shirt at a club

LGB is a hate slogan? What colour is the sky on your planet?

TiredofthisBS · 19/01/2020 12:56

Can you explain to me exactly why you deem them a hate group, Marns?

Datun · 19/01/2020 12:57

While people can have opinions on being trans, you cannot wear a clear hate slogan t shirt at a club and t shirts like that should be banned.

Awful homophobia.

TiredofthisBS · 19/01/2020 12:59

I thought the LGB Alliance supports same sex attracted people. How is that hateful?

IsadoraQuagmire · 19/01/2020 13:01

Hate slogan my arse! Don't be so ridiculous Angry

Isn't it. That's a technique I've heard used before by dodgy bouncers if they want to beat someone up. Happened to a guy I know a decade ago.

Misogyny & homophobia enforced by thuggery. Oh so progressive.

Someone on that thread actually likened it to wearing a “white power” t-shirt!

The stupid runs deep in that one. Hmm

TiredofthisBS · 19/01/2020 13:08

It sounds terribly homophobic, misogynistic, totalitarian to berate a bisexual woman over her choice of who she wishes and what she wishes to support.

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 19/01/2020 13:10

Absolutely shocking homophobia and misogyny. They endangered that young women. I hope no LGB person gives that place their customer in future. Leave it to the blue haired woke warriors and their chums.

TiredofthisBS · 19/01/2020 13:11

So no one else matters @marns? Others are not allowed to have a different opinion in case it upsets someone else, so that they then can't express that opinion.
