Never been so happy to find this movement as a gay man who has been shunned from the "community " for being transphobic because I don't want to date or have sex with biological women aka "Trans man" I've suffered so much hate and lost so many friends in the name of wokeness. I support trans people, but they have overtaken and made a mockery of the community
Thank you LGB Alliance! đâ€đŹ
Thank you Faika El-Nagashi for your courage, and LGB Alliance for making this conference happen. Greetings from Vienna
A great way to start my day here in Down Under! More please!!!! Thank you Mr. Menno for hosting the live chat. I felt re-energised for the weekend. Thank you Bev for hosting this excellent panel.
There was a live chat on Mr. Menno's channel? What does that mean? Should that be kept on the downlow in case they want to do the same next year?
THIS is what TRUE LGB âalliesâ should be concerned with!
Keep up the good work donât let transgenderism, 72 gender or neo pronoun nonsense make the LGB community look bad!
Love the LGB alliance
Such an important panel discussion. Thank you for presenting it.
Great discussion - different points of view and lived experiences.
Some disagreement without descending into meaningless mantras or a silo mentality.
A really excellent discourse about international struggles. Thank you so much, LGB Alliance! Long may you prosper.

Wish i was there!
This was such a cool panel! It's very important that we listen to our brothers and sisters from all over the world in order to keep perspective and as a reminder that we're not alone.
I LOVE the intro music đ”
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!đ„°
Thank you for your service
There were three excellent and engaging speakers, productive and movement-forward speeches. Derek Turner sticks out like a sore thumb here, and does not fit into the narrative and the intent that I believed the LGB Alliance was putting foward to attract lesbians and gays to stand up to the trans lobby. He used preferred pronouns when speaking on psychosocial abuser Rachel Levine, a man, and Derek policed himself in explanation, and so can't be taken serious as a subject matter expert on this topic.
This is not at all what I expected from this discussion and it gave me a fresh sense of fear. There really aren't any gay and lesbian spaces left that are not tarnished somehow, no spaces left that have not been infiltrated by white privileged American men schooling us into this ideology somehow. Very discomforting to this lesbian, and even more so that the LGB Alliance deems this a "different perspective" that we "just aren't used to". Wrong, we are so used to it that we are sick of it and sick of the divisiveness it has already caused for our community. This is my dissent. Do better, LGB Alliance, for the love of truth!
This was fantastic. Well done all of you. Can't believe you are having to fight again for gay rights. The fact that they have come for women's rights and children's bodies means we can all unite and beat this. Japanese knotweed indeed...
Also, how utterly amazing is Sinead Watson? đ
Sinead Watson? I thought that was the name of the detransitioner that has been interviewed on a number of YT channels & who spoke last year at the LGB Alliance conference? Is that also the name of the woman who welcomed everyone & introduced each session?
As an LGB activist, a woman, and an American, I am beyond embarassed and deeply appalled that the American that LGBA chose to represent America uses female language for men, and calls the absolute worst kind of man, i.e., the autogynephile Richard/Rachel Levine, "she" and "her." And in front of an audience of lesbians and bisexual women at an LGB event no less! It is so incredibly disrespectful to women and lesbians, not to mention totally unnecessary, that a speaker was chosen who apparently doesn't know what a woman is, or is prepared to insult women at the expense of men who would wear our skin if they could by being far more kind to this male who isn't present than to the women who actually are..
The American man's talk was totally cringeworthy.I have never encountered that man before in over two years of high-profile LGB activism with gay men, which is telling. The idea that there was no better person to speak on the pollitical landscape of the US in reference to LGB people/rights, or discuss where we stand in the fight against the synthetic sex identity movement, would be laughable if it wasn't so offensive.
I can think of half a dozen people who would have been far more knowledgeable and appropriate. I actually know a gay male activist of 60+ years who told me he tried contacted LGBA to offer to speak at least two times, with no reply.
Again, I am truly embarassed at this poor representation of the level of LGB politlcal sophistication in the US. None of the LGB activists I know, women OR men, use female language for men. Where they found this dude, I have no idea.
Agreed! Iâm ashamed he behaved the way he did (whilst representing the US) and under the guise of being concerned about the overturning of Roe. I feel like he spat directly in our faces!
In the intro there is some mild slagging-off of the two party system - then straightaway we go into a talk about the evils conjured up by a multi-party coalition system! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Why does she keep saying LGBTQ? Isn't this supposed to be the LGB Alliance? Is this about gays and lesbians?
Yes, that was upsetting. I know people in other countries don't necessarily conflate same-sex attraction with wanting to have different genitals, or straight people claiming a now-cool "gay identity." IDK why they couldn't find people who don't do that.
The part that disgusted me is that they got an American who uses female language for men. I've been working on fighting transgenderism as an LGB activist for about three years, working with other male and female activsts, and none of us ever use fake pronouns or call men "she" and "her" as he did. It's crazy that they couldn't find someone better to represent the US. So embarassing.
By "she", I take it you mean the first panelist (on the left)? You need to be specific when there are *3* she's on the panel. And why no complaint about the men who said, "LGBT" or "LGBTQ+"? It's interesting that you only criticize a woman. If you are talking about Bev, I'm sure she is reading the description given to her by each panelist, and the work that some of these people do includes the T. I don't think there is EVER a need to include the Q because it's meaningless except for basically meaning, "affluent, educated hetero people without real problems who want to identify into a "community" and claim oppression and minority status."
Why not transgender?
Is this an homophobic movement?
