There’s another angle to this. In the UK, in particular, many gays and lesbians have disassociated themselves from Pride, Stonewall and the like, because they believe those organisations to now be homophonic, with a primary focus on transgender and surrogacy issues.
That’s why the LGB Alliance was formed, whose logo is, incidentally plain black and white; their involvement is with sexual orientation only, and not matters of transgender, non-binary etc. And that’s not to mention many women’s groups who believe that transgender issues are a threat to women’s rights.
Whatever, people’s views on this are, Pride is a political lobby group. As such, I don’t see why any of these players should have been stood down.
