Gay man 'bullied' off Manchester Pride for wearing LGB Alliance hat and t-shirt

LibDem activist delighted by this. Here are two of her tweets. The gay man who turned up in an LGB hat and t-shirt was allegedly advised by police to leave for his own safety and seems to have had the hat stolen.

Another young fool tweeted that 'bullying the guy in the LGB Alliance shirt who came to the protest march is my favourit part of Pride so far xx'. He has since deleted this (possibly because he is now sober and/or has seen how many people had reported this to his employers) and now claims he was just chanting 'Trans lives matter!'. 'Bullying' is an odd choice of words for this. How could anyone think admitting publicly to 'bullying' was a good look?

The LGB Alliance man has been advised that people shouting at him is actually assault if he wants to take it further. Doesn't sound like he does, though.

Unedifying, to say the least.

Can I become a transgender lesbian?

No. HTH.

Lesbians are same sex attracted. Not same gender.

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 29/08/2021 18:58

Honestly, I want transallies to bring really good points, solid research and great evidence. I really do, because it baffles and upsets me that intelligent people are supportive of any wild claim and silly theory, and will go to such lengths to argue that a gay man brings bullying on himself

Absolutely

And in my opinion we have had posters on here with informative posts, they are prepared to listen and debate…i mean not loads of them obviously but there have been some that have made me read other articles and think

But we don’t seem to have them quite so much…and i do not believe that they have been hounded off, I honestly think they are too embarrassed about being linked to other ‘similar’ posters to come back on

Off topic sorry but Quaggersx cool name by the way
Although as any Quaagar Warrior knows it should be double A actually Grin

Watch Free Speech Nation at 7pm on GB News. Being discussed on there and as a bonus Julie Bindel is on too.

I don't think there is a point, Quaggersx (BTW, you're not the other quaggers, are you? They had a very different perspective on all this.)

catzwhiskas · 29/08/2021 19:01

Where were other gay men who know the difference between same sex attraction and bloody gender nonsense? Have they stopped going to pride as most lesbians have? Perhaps know most gay men will see what we have been talking about for years. Is this going to be enough to turn all those who keep quiet to see what is going on? I hope so.

And its the tiger that came to tea and paw patrol 😳

I really enjoyed the thread "Does anyone ever think that we might be the bad guys?"

I loved the level of introspection the posters on here apply, the challenges they make to their own perspectives.

No reason for pointing that out. Just struck by a stray thought.

I'm not a Quaagar warrior. Hope this helps.

Is there another Quaggers? I didn't realise. Whoops.

NoNotMeNoSiree · 29/08/2021 19:03

The Quaggersx has an x on the end so I say wanted the name but it's already taken so put an x on the end.

FloralBunting · 29/08/2021 19:03

I'm speaking to a number of gay men who are horrified and quite contrite that they hadn't really noticed what has been going on. We always knew this was coming, but it's no comfort that it has.

NoNotMeNoSiree · 29/08/2021 19:04

I'm not a Quagger Warrior hope that helps

Fair enough, I just thought with having that particular name you'd at least know what my quote was referring to, I mean it's a pretty random word if you don't know where it's from!

Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. The name has personal meaning to me. ☺️ Did you want the name or something?

No big deal. The other one would be more of the opinion that the silly gay man should have thought twice about what he was wearing if he didn't want to be shunned. You seem to have the sensible, non-twat opinion, so that's cool Grin

@beastlyslumber

WTF is a "trans exclusive t-shirt"?

Is it any t-shirt that doesn't mention trans?

Is my Macmillan Cancer t-shirt "trans exclusive"?

Do you understand how absolutely mental you sound talking about "trans exclusive t-shirts"? They're t-shirts ffs. Mental.

If the father disappears after getting you pregnant is he a trans-parent?

I expect lots of names look like that if you don't know personal reasons behind them. And as you said, it's not spelt the same anyway as your warrior version. Presume that's some gaming thing. My version has a far more interesting history behind it. 😉 What made you choose your name?

FloralBunting · 29/08/2021 19:09

aw, the funny man is funny. haha.

I'm off to cut my toenails.

regardless of the name's origins, I like the cut of your jib Wink

Ooh that doesn't sound nice. I'm definitely not that one.

There was a Celtic-Rangers game in Glasgow today and afterwards a mob of Rangers “fans” marched through the city centre singing a notorious anti-Catholic song which is banned at Rangers' own stadium, with the police, apparently, just looking on.

I wonder how far they'd have got if they'd been singing "men can't be lesbians".

NonnyMouse1337 · 29/08/2021 19:11

Gender zealots are the same as the old school homophobes - they just have glitter on them.

Remember the old school homophobes? The types that would say - We don't hate gay people. They just shouldn't... you know.... talk about homosexuality so openly like that. It's unnatural.

21st century homophobia - Of course it's ok to be gay, just ..... you know...... don't talk about it openly like that. It's exclusionary.

Homosexuality is exclusively about same-sex attraction, and lesbians and gay men should not have to be quiet about their sexual orientation because homophobes think it's problematic. You can roll around in as much glitter as you like and wrap yourself up in rainbow flags. You're still a plain, old homophobe because you think same-sex attraction is disgusting and shouldn't be talked about openly.

RedDogsBeg · 29/08/2021 19:12

Why is the concept of same sex attraction so difficult to understand? It is exactly what it says on the tin.
