Here´s the video of the attack, literally the only outlet covering this is LGB Alliance USA.
Gay rights legend & pioneer Fred Sargeant (74), one of the co-founders of the Gay Pride march in NYC and participant in Stonewall in 1969, was violently assaulted by trans rights activists at Burlington Pride this weekend. @LGBAlliance_USA condemns this unconscionable act.
The photo accompanying this tweet shows an old man on the ground surrounded by people holding trans flags, while a yanks his cane away from him. Definitely click through to see it; it really speaks a thousand words.
He says "I went to Pride to protest their misogyny, homophobia, exclusionary policies and divisiveness. I was met by screaming, multiple assaults, ageist comments, shoving, slaps to the back of my head, pouring coffee on me and repeated attempts to steal my signs."
How are they going to spin it when they finally succeed in murdering a gay man or lesbian woman? Is the progressive establishment really going to go for it and play it as defensive? Will it slow the roll at all? Will anyone look up and think frick what have I gotten into, I’m on the side of the gay bashers? Will they look up and see that the movement is 99% straight? Because I don’t think the “gender critical” right is about to come out in defense of gays and lesbians.
His statement continues: "Being unsuccessful in their attempts to disrupt my protest and drive me away, the mob pushed me to the ground"
He would later say, of attending: "Before I went, my husband asked why I was going to protest. I answered, if I don't who else should?"
Sadly, this despicable act was entirely predictable: activists at Burlington Pride had been distributing stickers like this, and violent rhetoric from that quarter has become so commonplace, they can even justify assaulting a man who needs a cane to walk.
These aren't fringe slogans, s spew so much casual physical and sexual violence, that their "be kind" supporters would see if they actually listen to them.
Here's a short statement Fred Sargeant wrote on Facebook about being assaulted and mugged:
Mugged at Burlington Pride So, I went to Pride to protest their misogyny, homophobia, exclusionary policies and divisiveness. I was met by screaming, multiple assaults, ageist comments, shoving, slaps to the back of my head, pouring coffee on me and repeated attempts to steal my signs. Being unsuccessful in their attempts to disrupt my protest and drive me away, the mob pushed me to the ground as the parade ended, further injuring me. They stole or damaged more than $550 worth of my property. This is the sign that the young trans/rainbow brownshirts in dresses went absolutely nuts over. (More photos tomorrow)
He posted more pictures and videos, including ones that clearly show the assailants. https://www.facebook.com/fred.sargeant.1

this is all just so perfect. these fascist trans rights/antifa people are now literally beating up old gay men for wrongthink. at the same time they are screaming at babies and calling them fascists.
watching these people destroy their movement by outing themselves as violent fascists is so fun to watch.

We’ve gone so deep into this that straight white men have become a forgotten enigma. Not even discussed any more for fear that a valid neofoid will strike the speaker down for their own fascistic existence.

I know this is difficult for neurodivergent people to understand but the phrase Nazi in common parlance does not refer to card carrying members of the National Socialist German Workers Party, but rather to rightoid pieces of shit
His sign effectively said "you will never be a foid and shouldnt be allowed to present as one in public". He was asking for it. If his sign had said "You are ugly, frick you" instead and someone punched him, that would also be an entirely predictable consequence.

"Being a train is woman face" is an opinion, not objective truth. What does "no woman face" even mean? Is he trying to make trains illegal?

As an FtM, what scares me is how easily people are able to shutter any and all conversation about stuff like this and get away just to please shitty people.
Twitter literally his account after it happened
and no mainstream media outlet dares to tell the full story, without twisting it or something.
And of course redditors think its totally justified bc of muh transfobiuz
