Organisation planning legal action after venue cancelled meeting because it would ‘promote political views’
A gender-critical group is preparing to take legal action against a Brighton pub that cancelled its meeting over its “political ideology”.
The group, Human Gay Male (HGM), provides social events for gay men who do not believe in gender ideology.
That is the belief that gender is dictated not by biological sex, but self-identification.
The gender-critical group claims that it booked a room at a Brighton pub for a small event in early August, but the venue later cancelled, citing a problem with political ideology.
The Lion and Lobster pub attributed the decision to its policy of barring bookings for “any groups promoting political ideologies or views”.
This appeared to follow the pub being tipped off about the beliefs of HGM by a group called Terf Watch Brighton, which said on Instagram that “Human Gay Male tried to come to Brighton. They aren’t welcome here”.
