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

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

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.

That was in response to Quaggersx post btw

Purgatory 'I thought quaggers were a species of extinct equine.'

That's a "quagga". It looked like sort of cross bt a horse and a zebra.

Yes the name quagga was taken. 😢 I had to go for the next best thing

well, that's lovely. Sealions and zebras all on the same thread. Anyone have a good recipe for them, or would one of the people supporting the gay man in the slogan t-shirt needing a police escort from Pride for his own safety like to answer purgatory's question?

Was the "joke" by AustralianDad about Dachsunds being the 'meat in the LGB sandwich' made in reference to the post by DonQuixote about April Preston, Twittermaiden to the no-LGBs-here-no-sirree march, being 'a Dachshund and indie pop enthusiast'? Or did I forget to take my meds this morning again?

Of course it was taken, Quaggersx. Otherwise we couldn't refer to quaggas, could we? 😉

Well, for the avoidance of all doubt, only women can be lesbians, and male people are never women, not even if they really want to be or truly believe they are. So, no, 'transwomen' cannot be lesbians.

If a woman is transgender, that is she is female and believes she has a gender identity that over-rides that, she may be a lesbian.

But there are no male lesbians. Ever.

Call me transphobic. I don't fucking care, because disagreeing with what I've just written is dribbling, knuckle-dragging homophobia and I'll stand against it anywhere you care to name.

👏👏👏

Maybe Quaggas wouldn't be extinct if they identified as zebras and didn't recognise the stripey ceiling?

@RedDogsBeg

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?

Like to respond to this NoNotMeNoSiree?

I've been misspelling it for years then. Well, this is embarrassing.

Can I become a transgender lesbian?

It isn't funny that straight men have appropriated a word laden with meaning for countless women. I do wish people would wake up.

Who knows, who cares.

Just seen a tweet about this that resulted in the thought that transwomem shouldn't be denied rights because of an "invisible difference".

An invisible difference..

I despair.

Well, the difference between transwomen and men is indeed something invisible, as I understand it. A gender identity is something that can’t be seen, or even defined, as far as I know.

You are not the only one.

It's beyond parody.

According to the GB news he was pushed and his shirt grabbed

Transwomen aren't denied any rights in the UK.

They're not lesbians though, and they've never had the right to be that or force anyone else to pretend they are.

Invisible difference? That takes some tucking!

#Emily Wilding Davison just re-posted this response she found on Twitter to the LGBA's announcement of their conference in October. She's rightly asking whether this counts as hate speech.

Sounds like they need a police visit to me.

Transwomen aren't denied any rights in the UK.

You are right Floral they are not, they do, however, want more rights at the expense of others.

I've asked till I'm blue in the face as to what rights TW's don't have and answer comes there none.

Same scenario with what rights the LGBA are apparently stripping from Trans people - tumbleweed.

They're not lesbians though, and they've never had the right to be that or force anyone else to pretend they are

Agree and it is abhorrent that they are aiming to do so.

The cock and balls is pretty fucking visible.

Ah the lovely tolerance and kindness, always to the fore with these TRAs and supporters, what super company to keep.

Not sure if you're being deliberately obtuse?

They weren't comparing transwomen and men.

They were comparing trans women and women. The difference of which is pretty fucking stark and VERY visible!
