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.

The RSPCA should have an opinion on this because sausage dogs are the meat in the sandwich here when it comes to gay rights.

This is Mumsnet. Not dogworld

Hey, AustralianDad, did you have a point, or do you have a magic eightball that you keep shaking to decide what to post next?

No point Floral, best to just ignore.

Sorry, off topic but Quagaars are non-existent aliens that Rimmer believes in because he wants them to be real.

No parallels there!

What on earth are you on about? Confused you seem to be on an entirely different thread than the rest of us. Or a different substance.

its a gay thing, not that I am gay...or vegan for that matter.
Quaggersx · 29/08/2021 19:47

What's a gay thing? You're not expressing yourself very well here 🤔 Are you ok hun?

RedDogsBeg · 29/08/2021 19:48

Anyways I am patiently waiting for the supporters of those who abused, harassed and stole from a gay man at Pride to answer the question PurgatoryofPotholes posted several pages back regarding him deserving his punishment for the crime of what he was wearing, be grand if we could have the response. Thanks awfully.

FloralBunting · 29/08/2021 19:49

Indeed. It's a cracking question, worthy of response.

the reference to the RSPCA having an opinion regarding sausage dogs and some gay woman not being into lesbians... you really need to read the whole thread sweetie

Deserving his punishment

The video I saw had people chanting trans lives matter! loudly over and over at him as he passed by.
The police guided him away?
Was there more?

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 29/08/2021 19:52

I thought quaggers were a species of extinct equine.

Anyway, yes, would really like some answers too. Thank you for reminding them, Red.

Never thought I'd see such a clear parallel to one of the most notorious rape myths endorsed on FWR.

yep, discussion. Bang on point.

Making sense would be a great start and making points relevant and coherent to the subject under discussion would be the next logical step.

Is that not something you do under normal face to face conversations in a group? Why would this be different?

Magic eight ball... I have not seen one of those for thirty years!

It's generally helpful when attempting to have a conversation with people. Rather than just standing at the side and shouting random words. But whatever works for you. I'm inclusive ☺️

Quote from Alexander Bramham.

I wasn't "kicked out of @ManchesterPride". Still very much attending and welcomed. Police acted proportionately in the face of assault and theft. Officer advised to report the incident by calling 101 and action was to protect me. Police don't take sides and didn't here.

Like I said, logic and coherence is a prerequisite and I'll add relevance.

Quaggersx · 29/08/2021 19:58

Yes the name is more closely linked to that than it is red dwarf.

RedDogsBeg · 29/08/2021 20:01

in the face of assault and theft.

You got that NoNotMeNoSiree? Straight from the mouth of the victim.

Like the reason he was singled out was due to the shirt and hat he was wearing came straight from the mouths of those who assaulted and stole from him.

You going to continue saying he deserved what he got because of the clothes he was wearing?

NoNotMeNoSiree · 29/08/2021 20:02

Just googled - the Quagga is an extinct subspecies of zebra.
Well, you learn something new every day.
Maybe that's where the Red Dwarf writers drew inspiration from the word Quaggars (double A) from you never know Grin

Yes, it's been discussed on this thread. Hth.
RedDogsBeg · 29/08/2021 20:03

Must ask MNHQ since when victim blaming has been acceptable on here.
