London (AFP) – Revellers massed in central London Saturday for the annual Pride festival amid warnings that gay rights are under threat worldwide after decades of progress.

Organisers, anticipating more than 1.5 million attendees in total over a day of marching and partying, defied threats of disruption from the climate action group Just Stop Oil.

The group, which has been staging high-profile protests including at an England-Australia cricket match this week, was angered by Pride's partnership with headline sponsor United Airlines.

Just Stop Oil had also demanded that Pride ban parade floats sponsored by "high-polluting industries", and nine of its activists briefly halted a float sponsored by Coca-Cola.

Seven of them blocked the road and were hauled away by police, while two others sprayed paint over the road.

"These partnerships embarrass the LGBTQ+ community at a time when much of the cultural world is rejecting ties to these toxic industries," Just Stop Oil said in a statement.

Not that I have thought about this 🤔, but there are high concentrations of leftists loons in cities. There are few farms in cities. Truckers deliver food to cities … see where I’m going with this.

The irony that the author proclaims that “LGBTQXYZ” rytes are under attack worldwide but doesn’t include Just Stop Oil in that category...

Just goes to show that just being yourself and not force people to acknowledge you under penalty of law is the way to go.
