The new face of LGBT Pride. No room for LGB – it's all about the T:

It was Manchester Pride this weekend. On Saturday, a young gay man in attendance suffered abuse and damage to his property and had to be escorted from the event by police for his own safety. All because his LGB Alliance hat and t-shirt upset a vituperative gang of woke Stasi.

Alexander Braham was at Manchester Pride, wearing a hat and t-shirt bearing the LGB Alliance logo. While he was attending a march to protest cuts to LGB+ charities, his hat was stolen and he was abused and attacked to such an extent that police had to remove him for his own safety.

All over Twitter, people were congratulating themselves that a gay man was subjected to this violent and abusive behaviour and forced to leave a Pride event.

It seems that April Preston was one of the ringleaders. She is the Liberal Democrat candidate for Withington in the forthcoming local council elections and a member of the Lib Dem Federal Board:

"Five minutes in got a terf removed. Happy with that."

So a straight woman succeeded in bullying a gay man from a Pride march.

It's a take-over, in effect.

Misgendering is literal violence but attacking a gay man and forcing him out of a Pride event is totally fine. Welcome to the new homophobia.
