An event organised by Gays Against Sharia to mark the anniversary of the Orlando shooting has been branded “divisive” and “Islamophobic” by LGBT activists planning a counter-protest.
The organisers of the Unite Against Hate march, set to take place in Manchester on Sunday, say they organised the event to “honour the victims of hate”, including the 49 people who lost their lives at Pulse, a gay club in Orlando, Florida, at the hands of an Islamic terrorist on June 12, 2016. Planned speakers include author Shazia Hobbs, a Glaswegian who was forced into an arranged marriage at 18 with a man who beat her, believing it was his right under Sharia law; Mohammed Fiaz, a Christian convert from Islam; and founder and former leader of the English Defence League Tommy Robinson. But LGBT activists have reacted with fury, insisting the event is nothing more than the cynical hijacking of gay rights by the “far right” as a cover for Islamophobia. Two groups, Lesbians and Gays Support the Migrants, and Action for Trans Health, are arranging a counter-protest against the march. “We’re protesting because the far-right want to use Orlando and the recent killings in the UK to demonise all Muslims,” one of the organisers of the counter-protest, Anna, told Pink News. “We are clear that it is genocidal to consider millions of people responsible for the actions of a few violent men. “As queers, we know what it’s like for right-wingers to hate us – so we won’t be divided like this.” One of the organisers of the Unite Against Hate march is Tommy English, a fellow traveller of Tommy Robinson’s and former leader of the English Defence League’s LGBT group who now runs Gays Against Sharia. Opponents have seized upon his presence to claim the march is nothing but a front for far-right Islamophobes. Pink News quotes Sam Bjorn as saying: “As LGBT+ people we won’t stand idly by as far right bigots like the EDL attempt to use our rights as a weapon against people from the Muslim community. “When groups like the EDL are preying on tragedy like the recent attack in Manchester to promote hate and division, it’s more important than ever to come together and say that we do not tolerate their Islamophobia and racism. “We encourage everyone, gay or straight, to join us on 11 June to show that the LGBT+ community and the people of Manchester won’t let the hate of far-right bigots divide us.” Pink News has joined in the condemnation, branding the event as a “fake” and accusing the organisers of “hijacking the first anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting with an anti-Muslim march,” which it described as a “disturbing tactic”. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/06/10/gays-sharia-march-branded-islamophobic-will-picketed-lgbt-activists/ Damn, will politics keep getting more and more confusing? I emphasized the bolded part because it's hilariously ironic in the wake of gay Trump supporters being kicked out of pride events. |

“As queers, we know what it’s like for right-wingers to hate us – so we won’t be divided like this.”
Fun Fact: a higher percentage of African Americans identify as Democrats than Republicans. Fun Fact: a higher percentage of African Americans oppose gay marriage than support it. Logical Conclusion: singling out right-wingers for opposing gay rights is intellectually dishonest. |

“As queers, we know what it’s like for right-wingers to hate us – so we won’t be divided like this.” I'd have also included that most of the transgender people murdered are blacks murdered by blacks as well

It funny that the left have segmented and accept every group to the point now they are contradicting themselves. Go ahead accept Sharia Law and kiss the feminist and gay rights movements gains goodbye

What a mess.
I always said it. The real gay people and the good gay people are like all of us and everyone else. They know about the agenda and are against it. Thats why those gay people are supporting trump and doing this. The fake gay people who run lgbt groups are the ones pushing agendas and dont care what gays think only to support them in their agenda. I hope gay people stand up to them. |

“As queers, we know what it’s like for right-wingers to hate us – so we won’t be divided like this.” Most of those black voters have socially conservative views but vote Democrat because their economic policies help them more and Republicans can't stop demonizing them. Goes for most racial minorities, actually.

I dunno about EDL but Tommy Robinson is NOT a racist. Yeah, he's not. But he's against domestic terrorism and he's against groups going around harassing Brits for drinking or smoking, so the media and leftists try to make him out to be some white supremacist.

“As queers, we know what it’s like for right-wingers to hate us – so we won’t be divided like this.”
When do these idiots realize that muslims are right-wingers too? Or do they think that only white people can be right-wing?

Muslims vote Democrat. They're not right wingers. Are we talking about Muslims only within the US or throughout the world? Because as a whole, Muslims would be extremely socially conservative. In the US, yes, they are more liberal on these issues.

What a mess. Any intelligent gay person would be opposed to both Sharia law and conservatism (sharia law and conservative social policies have a lot in common actually). And which one is an actual threat to LGBT+ rights in America? Conservatism

Most very religious people from one of the major religions are socially conservative. Great ducking the question. Muslim conservatism in Saudi Arabia or Iran is a lot different than Christian conservatism in the UK or France.
