Lesbian Pride March – Saturday 5th July – Women Only (London)

[LCommunity]

Hi all,

Just flagging this for any lesbian or bi women who’ve felt pushed out of Pride, or like something’s quietly disappeared.

We’re organising a lesbian and bisexual women-only march on Saturday 5th July in central London. It’s the same day as the main Pride event – but we’re not part of their route, and we’re not affiliated.

Time: 11.00 AM
Meeting point: Emmeline Pankhurst Statue, Victoria Tower Gardens South (by Parliament)
Route: Walk to Parliament Square for a few short speeches, then back to the park for a picnic (or a nearby pub if it rains)

No men. No brands. No pressure.
Just women. In public. Without compromise.

It’s fully self-funded. All permits, insurance, stewards and first aid are covered.

RSVP now

They didn’t make space for us. So we did.

It’s sad, isn’t it? Pathetic really.

Incidentally for the lurkers:

actually homosexual women were driven out of LGB groups years ago, many of them went underground in groups to escape the bullying and enforced centering of men you can see here being demonstrated so well, and many just stopped going anywhere near anything with a rainbow on it. Most of my LG friends would rather stab themselves with forks than go near the tedious wankery of 'Pride' although we were there marching in the days when it was a brave thing to do to stand in a public place and be willing to say you were gay.

So these 'surveys' are always exclusively of the gender obedient, self selected by being known to gender obedient groups and lists, and therefore come back with the desired evidence that yes, of course the burning desire of a homosexual woman is to have sex with a biological man. The gender ideologists will often tell you they've never met a lesbian in their LGB+ groups who isn't gladly embracing of men in lesbianism, and this would be because they have driven them all out. I mean would you want to be in a group where there were people behaving towards homosexuality like the couple of posters performing here?

Lesbianism, for some, is all and entirely about male egos. Women having their own lives and separating themselves is absolutely unacceptable. (Although any other kink would be warmly embraced.)

I think that’s what they want. Male bullies and their handmaiden “ allies”.

I would be ashamed as a woman to take part in bullying and intimidation of a group of women meeting at a social event.

I don’t think they are mentally well-balanced or happy. They just seem bitter and jealous and so resort to the normal male ways of chest beating, intimidation and violence. And pissing in public. Sad.

This is what I can't get my head around. There are Trans Prides and other events specifically for Trans people but lesbians and women are not allowed anything.

I am not a lesbian so won't be going but I hope it is a success and you all have a great time.

Exactly the desired affect.

Make women too afraid to be openly homosexual in public, for fear of homophobic attacks and hatred. Based on their rejection of men.

While their attackers are poncing about at 'Pride'.

👏👏👏

How can anyone answer your question? The organisers cannot read the minds of all the women on the march can they?

The fact that you think lesbians organising an event could be 'anti trans' tells me a lot about you.

This isn’t a “KJK thing” or a protest. It’s not part of any political campaign or activism. This is a same-sex lesbian community women organising for our own visibility, friendship, safety, and public space.
We’re not “anti” anyone. We simply want a march that’s actually for lesbians and bi women, where same-sex attracted women can gather, connect, and be visible. That’s it.

Everyone is entitled to their views. But lesbian women organising lesbian meetups isn’t a debate. It’s simply women taking care of our own.

Haven't RTFT, but how can you exclude people from a march ?

I can understand how you can make a private space women only. But a procession on a public street ?

Hi not quite. This is a lesbian-led pride march, specifically for same-sex attracted women. It’s not about being gender critical or political labels. It’s about visibility for lesbians and bi women who want a space centred on same-sex female experience.

Thank you and yes, it’s exactly that: a lesbian-led march for women who are same-sex attracted. No wider politics, no debates, just lesbian visibility. Everyone can organise their own events for different groups this one is for us.

This is a lesbian-led march for lesbians and bi women who want same-sex spaces without being told off for it. No one’s hassling anyone, we're simply organising something for ourselves, like everyone else does.

Exactly and that’s all it is. A lesbian and bi women’s march. Not for everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. Thank you for the respect.

That’s always the risk when women organise for themselves. But we’re not hiding. If people want to come and ruin it, it says more about them than us. We’ll keep showing up.

Beautifully said. That’s exactly why we’re marching. No more silence. No more erasure. Just women standing up, visible, and proud.

I hope it goes well for you and that the homophobes stick to the main pride parade where they will be made very welcome.

It's so predictable that the penis people are outraged at the thought of women not wanting a penis to feature in their sex life.

Exactly Pride’s happening that day for everyone else. This march is for lesbians and bi women who are same-sex attracted. No one's stopping anyone else from organising their own events that's the whole point of freedom.

Exactly. It’s a peaceful women’s march. If anyone turns up to intimidate lesbians for existing, it only proves why we need this space in the first place. We’ll be there calm, visible, and unbothered.

I really hope that you all have a lovely time and are left in peace.

I can see it. The megaphones, taps off, bottles of piss; and a lesbian with the temerity to sit on a tartan blankets saying to her new friends, “I don’t think I salted the cucumber enough in these sandwiches so they are a bit soggy. Apologies.”.

Meanwhile, the “ladies” shout and berate and look like utter fools. Yes they are annihilated. Annihilated with pure cringe.

I hope the so called heterosexual women who are posting on this thread in desperation to attend are actually men because otherwise it gets even more depressing.

I hope all the attendees have a fabulous time, free of idiots. However the potential amount of sunshine which may occur means you need to take sunscreen!

Thank you. In that case, as the provision is specifically about employers, it isn’t relevant to this event.

👏 amazing.

Ah, thanks, I can see it’s s158. So if the Equality Act applies to this event, the organisers could argue that both cisgender lesbians and cisgender bi women are underrepresented at Pride (as two separate groups with two different protected characteristics) and it is proportionate to organise a separate event just for them. I don’t know if the evidence of underrepresentation is there to support that argument though.
