Pride in London 2018 parade 🌈 | Anti-trans protest hijacks London Pride

A group of lesbian activists blocked the start of the Pride in London march today (7 July) in protest against transgender women.

Eight women stormed the parade route without accreditation. Then five of them laid down on the road in front of the parade and draped a banner over them. The banner read: ‘Transactivism erases lesbians’.

They went on to unofficially lead the parade. A Pride in London spokesperson told Gay Star News: ‘Every year, Pride is attended by hundreds of thousands of people who demonstrate that Pride still matters. Given the hot weather and in the interest of the safety for everyone attending today’s event, the parade group was allowed to move ahead.

‘We do not condone their approach and message and hope the actions of a very small number people does not overshadow the messages of the 30,000 people marching today,’ the spokesperson said.
