A swarm of insects was released by trans activists at an LGB Alliance event yesterday, sparking chaos in the conference hall.
The LGB Alliance – which campaigns exclusively for the rights of homosexual and bisexual people – was holding its Our Lives Our Future event in the capital’s Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, when an activist for trans rights reportedly emptied a bag of insects into the room.

The LGB Alliance has previously found itself at odds with some proponents of trans rights, who claim the organisation is transphobic.
When the group was made a charity in 2021, several trans rights groups, including Mermaids, appealed the decision.
JK Rowling, known to many as ‘Queen of the Terfs, took to X, formerly Twitter, saying: “Did any of those releasing insects in an attempt to sabotage the LGBT Alliance conference have a split second of sanity in which they thought ‘Am I in fact proving every critic of gender identity ideology right? Is trying to disrupt a meeting of gay people a tad homophobic?”
Two minutes before I was supposed to speak on the stage a TRA just dumped a bag, full of cockroaches and bugs all across the auditorium and ran out.

LGB Alliance, which was founded in 2019 in opposition to the policies of LGBTQ+ rights charity Stonewall on trans issues, describes its objective as “asserting the right of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men to define themselves as same-sex attracted”, and states that such a right is threatened by “attempts to introduce confusion between biological sex and the notion of gender”.
