As a gay man , a Welsh man that owns debentures and loves rugby, I say this ghoul either doesn't know or doesn't care about the dangers to young girls from men playing against them. The tensions on the neck during scrums and tackles, and the possibility of harm would be immense!
Suddenly, thanks to
#Pride
, everyone thinks gay men are drag queens. Show Corporate America what gay men really look like. Post your photo!

Question for everyone: why am I here?
I'll go first. I'm here to protect my identity as a gay man. I will not stand by and see it diluted, down graded, erased. I will not stand by and see my rights as a gay man, alongside lesbians and bisexuals, taken away.
I could never understand the link between LGB and the T from day one. Apart from the fact that they are a minority group. The fact that they have now hijacked the whole movement to attack the original groups hard won rights is infuriating.
Wickes
@Wickes
Following the tweet from Wickes at Brighton pride in August, I wrote to the CEO of Wickes, David Wood, on behalf of the Gay Men's Network, explaining why the messages on their float were divisive and homophobic.
@EssexPoliceUK
Are you saying that the voicing of gender critical views in this thread will result in police investigation? If so have you confirmed with the EHRC that such a statement can be made without exposing you to civil liability for breach of the Equality Act 2010?
We need to tear this shit up and get it done soon, so that little boys like my grandson, who do not have the protection of their parents are protected. The same for little girls.
Enough is enough!
I call on Wickes to initiate a conversation with us so that we can politely point out the pitfalls of the messages they have conveyed.
My letter is here.
Whilst we should rejoice at the news of the closure of the Tavistock,we need to be more alert than ever.
The regional clinics that will replace it, must not be infected with the same malignant ideology.
Practices and procedures need to be thoroughly examined and staff vetted.
Before I came out I was married and am blessed with two children. I am the proud father of a strong, opinionated, bright GC woman.through her I have two beautiful grandsons. The eldest is quite a quiet, reserved lad. The entire time I was with them last weekend he spent the time
Wickes have no authority to tell LGB people how they can organise and who they can organise with.
In addition, I explained why the trans CT bill can result in young LGB people being transed because of homophobia.
For those thinking that the battle with gender ideology is coming to an end, think again, it's the start of the end not the end of the end.
Gender ideology has entrenched itself in all aspects of education, health, NGO's etc, like knotweed. It has choked debate like bindweed.
Showing me how he could dance,. Complete with jazz hands and pirouettes. He also likes dressing up. Luckily as i said, my daughter is GC, but I shudder to think what could become of him in the hands of the Gender ideaology mafia.
I also pointed out the commercial ramificiations of excluding 1,000,s of LGB from their stores because of this message.
To date I have received no reply.
Following the latest tweet of Wickes at Manchester Pride, I have no option to make that letter public.

@ALLIANCELGB
I'm gay mate and I support them. Sick of being told to like vagina. LGBA fights for gay men, not just use us to hitch a ride for trans folk.
It constantly perplexes me that there is no level playing field in this fight.
Why are the backgrounds of TRA activists ie ; Fred, Himdia, Robin White, etc, not checked out before they are given a platform in the media etc?

Once again a major party in Wales feels so comfortable about the consistent voting patterns of their support base that they chose to ignore 51% of the population, to support less than .5% that are mostly men in dresses.
Hopefully a shock is coming, Welsh women, are awakening!
As a gay man who struggled with my sexuality, to the point of washing I was dead rather than be gay, to the point of getting married, to hating myself for years on end, to burying it so deep I thought I went away.
I finally accepted it. I love who I am.
@TNLComFund
@MensNetwork1
As a director of the GayMensNetwork which advocates for gay men and gay youth. I'm delighted at your brave award to the LGB Alliance, for their grant for a helpline. These days, young gay men and lesbians need this line more than ever.
Thank you.
Call to arms!
I can't make Hyde Park tomorrow but I implore any GC man who can to, attend in a peaceful non-confronting manner.
Women have been on the battlements for so long.
Let women speak. Ensure that their voices are heard. We need them to feel safe!
#LetWomenSpeak
@_franceswilde
A friendly reminder that we will organise how we wish and don't need approval from anyone.
You, or for that matter, anyone else do not get to dictate how we do so, or how we think. Jog on with your totalitarianism.
The responses and quote tweets to Tonia Antonazzi's quite reasonable meme makes me.think that Labour will soon have to come to a crunch decision.
Either they support women or they support the tiny aggressive minority that cares not a jot for democracy.
@PaulBurston
Paul I don't know about you but these replies are moving me to tears. I will be damned if they are maligned like this and we don't call out this misogyny and rewriting of the facts.
@MayorofLondon
So they have finally dropped all pretence of being concerned with the LGB and focus solely on trans.
How is this inclusive lord mayor? Sounds somewhat bigoted and self centred don't you think?
@desolatedoll
@PeterTatchell
It's great to see, people are waking up to trans Ideaology and now companies are taking note.
The sooner this homophobic, misogynistic cult is consigned to the annals of history the better.
As a Gay man who regularly works in Israel (Netanya) and has experienced Tel Aviv pride. I can say that I have never had such a welcoming, non judgemental reception from every quarter of society both secular and religious.
@ashtonpittman
Very nice tweet on how to practice homophobia and misogyny, all wrapped in a nice little woke bundle of words.
Get used to it mate, our movement is growing by the day!
#LGBWithoutTheT
When they come after lesbians ,they come after all same sex attracted people. We have a right to single sex spaces, we have a right to say homosexuality is about people of the same biological sex. No lesbians have a penis, no gay men have ever had a vagina.
It cannot be right that in 2023 a lesbian-only public meeting is deemed unlawful in Australia. This is a shocking backwards step in gay rights and lesbian rights in particular. We at GMN stand in solidarity with the LAG and all those fighting this homophobic decision.
@Jebadoo2
As a gay man who is also father to 31 year old daughter I am in this on both accounts. I see the straight men fighting this but I cannot understand where the rest of the father,husbands and sons are. Let their spaces be attacked this fight would be over within months!
@_NatashaDevon
As a gay man the progress flag represents homophobia, and regressive stereotypes for women and misogyny! It also represents fetish and the erosion of barriers in line with queer theory.
Freudian tweet! They're saying the quiet bit out loud without realising.
The TQ+ is the only part intact, the LGB rainbow is being shredded. Art imitating life!

We @ GMN support women' rights, to speak, to gather, to have same sex spaces.
We support our gay sisters, who have the right not to accept men into their dating pool without being accused of bigotry.
The Gay Men's Network stands with women exercising the right to unimpeded pollical assembly and free speech. Modern homophobia and misogyny are linked and the GMN stands against forces promoting both. Without sex, there is no same sex attraction.
@NicolaSturgeon
A hangover is gone by the Sunday night. Having your breasts or your gonnads removed, or not having a fully grown body lasts a lifetime.
Was it worth throwing fellow lesbians (allegedly), women and young gay men down the river just to score political points?
In this letter I have asked the first minister to consider, pausing their reviews on CT until the Cass review is published.
To move forward before that represents idealogy over science based facts and will be detrimental to the health of gay youth and young lesbians in Wales.
1/ The Gay Men's Network is tonight writing to the First Minister of Wales to raise serious concerns over proposed "conversion therapy bans" which sound good, but ignore homophobia as a safeguard risk and put ideology above evidence based healthcare for vulnerable youths.
Alicia Kearns saying the debate is toxic then going on to tell Neil Hanvey, a gay man, how he should identify or organise.
Crybully!

@frankie_jay_tho
How disrespectful, do you get a kick out of trying to cut through gay men's innate boundaries? Do you think you are that entitled that gay men would want sex with a woman?
@JamesSurowiecki
I'm sick of woke companies and I'm a gay man. It's lip service, empty virtual signalling. Why don't they do this in Saudi or Uganda?
Also this isn't about LGB it's about the T in most cases. Anti women and anti children.
If Stonewall were to drop the LGB and become a full TQ+ lobbying group, I for one as a gay man would welcome it. That they fail to do so, show that they use the LGB as a cloak.
I am here to protect gay youth. To protect them from homophobia, internal homophobia, I know the effects of internal homophobia that make your life miserable. To protect them from chemical castration, physical castration. To tell them you're normal.

Stay out of gay mens spaces then. Stay out of gay bars, sick.of seeing spicy straights in the admiral and other bars like it. Thanks God for bars like Compton s which has has gay only door policy
@PinkNews
Why are you running LGB stories once again, do you see the tide turning and want to reconnect with your old constituency that you have ignored and disparaged for so long?
Well Ben and Co. Guess what, it's too late, you're toast, we don't trust you anymore and never will again.
If any gay man supports the heinous attacks on Israel I suggest they go to Gaza , I'm sure Hamas will give them a brief rooftop view of the action. How they get down will be a lot quicker than how they got up!
One of the foundation stones of my happiness of my sexuality.
It is sacred to me.
I will not have spicy straights, dilute it, diminish the meaning of it, tell me i am attracted to people of the same gender.
I am attracted to men. Nothing else!
@ThePosieParker
Agreed, I always think these women who support trans live in a bubble, they will never have to go to prison, unlikely to need a refuge etc. They have a position of privilege that cocoons them from reality.
@ThePosieParker
They did a great job Kellie jay. What you don't see in this clip is that they also had 6 mounted police directly behind those police. Batons out all afternoon , constantly vigilant. How it should be!
@LesbianGayNews
What with that and beast binder distribution. Do they realise how many women will be alienated versus less than 1% Trans of the population?
@QueerBritain
Queer is everybody now is it? Queer was when I was being chased thorough Birmingham having bottles thrown at me by homophobes, remind you of anyone? Try a mirror!
