I love how he's in an LGB Alliance cap and top. 🥰

Wow. His voice is so reasonable, measured, and intelligent. A treasure of a man.

Very eloquent. Just hope the LGB community recognise the infiltration of queer activists is not benefiting us at all. It must be awful for Fred to hqve to witness feom day one what has happened.

I keep getting gay men on “Twatter” telling me that the LGB Alliance is a hate group run by straight people.

I’m straight, but even I know that’s complete nonsense.

And here we have the founder of Pride, Fred Sargent, discussing that he set up the US version.

Wake up!

Graham, a piece of good news from the Times!

Mermaids loses a trustee over paedophilia links.

Mermaids loses charitable status.

Susie Green loses freedom and is jailed.

Emma Watson loses fans over Mermaids support.

These are losses I want to see.

A legend. Thank you Fred for continuing the fight for LGB rights.

It's a powerful speech; all the more so for being so reasonable and measured, yet resolute. However, it's both utterly depressing and truly bizarre that a veteran of Stonewall - 53 years after the event - has once again been physically attacked for asserting his basic human right, and now has to start campaigning to protect it all over again. He's obviously made of strong stuff.

Such a moving speech. Shared on FB. I just hope the tide is finally turning on this issue.

Great speech. Here's an idea: Given the trans movement's insistence that T be included in "everything", why don't we do that? Instead of the BBC, CNN, FBI, CIA, WHO, WTO, etc. let's talk about the BBCT, CNNT, FBIT, CIAT, WHOT, WTOT. What about POTUST, FLOTUST.....?

Given the trans movement's insistence on "tr" - trans rights - over "cl" - lesbian visibility - instead of inclusion let's talk about.....?

Watched it 3 times. For my mental health. To feel the pride. To let my admiration of Fred wash over me. What a good man.
