The Telegraph on yesterday's events at the LGB Alliance conference:
Four suspected trans rights protesters attacked a gender-critical conference by releasing hundreds of live crickets into a packed auditorium.
The stunt threw the annual LGB Alliance conference into chaos, as a room of about 600 people had to be evacuated on Friday afternoon.
A protester, described as a 17-year-old girl by witnesses, who had been sitting in the crowd, dropped a bag of the insects as one of the final talks of the day was about to start….
LGB Alliance, which was set up in 2019, promotes the rights of lesbian, gay and bisexual people who disagree with Stonewall’s stance on transgender issues.
The protest took place at the beginning of a talk by Jamie Reed, a whistleblower who reported the medical treatment of minors at a US gender clinic.
Ms Barker said: “It was a session about a whistleblower – it was really interesting and very topical – so I don’t know if they picked that one in particular.”
At one point during her conversation with The Telegraph, Ms Barker stepped away to stamp on a cricket that had reached the stage.
The final two speeches of the event were cancelled following the protest….
James Dreyfus, the keynote speaker who appeared in the 1999 film Notting Hill, said he had experienced homophobic abuse from supporters of the gender ideology movement.
“The current gender movement is undoubtedly the most homophobic movement I’ve witnessed since the early 80s,” he said. “And that is no exaggeration.
“We all have re-experienced being called ‘f—–g poofs, Aids carriers’ etc.
“From three very specific groups. Firstly, the mob that is known as Trans Radical Activists. Secondly from those who feel the need to put their preferred pronouns in their online bios.
“And thirdly, from the ‘allies’, perhaps the most worrisome of all, who understand so little of the facts or indeed what the entire argument is about that I’m continually astonished how usually intelligent people have become so utterly brainwashed.”
Well quite. Silly teens with orange hair are one thing, but the "be nice" brigade who seem to populate our major institutins are something else.
If this was done by anyone other than trans activists, it would be immediately labeled and investigated as an anti-gay hate crime. https://t.co/ZTaUdxuIh6

Imagine if cockroaches were released at a conference for black people…
This is what gays like me have to put up with in 2024 – in London.
Do you condemn this @SadiqKhan?!
