Thank you to all who came out today (around 200) to say in no uncertain terms that fascists will never have a place in Naarm/Melbourne that queer communities look after our own, and that we will not be threatened.

About five of the “proud boys” turned up, were shouted down, and ended up being arrested.

Glitter Nova youth pride celebration postponed due to safety concerns after protest threat

An end-of-year pride celebration for LGBTQIA+ youth in St Kilda has been suddenly postponed after the council became aware of a protest threat.

Look at these sad little fascists, fucking losers full of hate and shit.
@harrym who got the photos?
@Winter not sure who took them, I liberated them from Tom Tanuki's twitter, but they've been flowing around the anti fascist circles.
@harrym @Winter now, can we get tommyboy on here too finally?
@harrym they didn’t even have any songs… turns out that the communists have the music after all
Fucking Instagram removed this same post as and labeled it as hateful. 
@harrym They’ve had quite a history of anti-LGBTQIA+ and that’s what I’ve noticed as a cis het guy. Can only imagine the community having witnessed far more and far worse. I guess with all of Zuckerberg’s fascist mates …
@jackyan It's really gross to have it removed without a chance for appeal. Dunno if bad faith reports or bad algorithm. But ether way Zuk and his companies are awful.
@harrym oh I did see you! Or at least I saw your sign 😂
@Winter sorry I missed you!!! Thank you for coming!!
@harrym honestly I was so happy to be there. I think I need to look deeper into my feelings on my gender or sexuality. I felt very comfortable among that group and I reckon that should probably tell me something.

@Winter @harrym

Sorry I missed you too :p

(That's me next to Harry if you can't tell, haha)

@MSinapi @harrym damn, I was clearly not in the cool section of the crowd
@MSinapi @harrym I heard someone mention there was details of where to donate to the performers, but I can't find it. Did either of you hear better than me where that was?

I think I heard that they convinced the council to pay them anyway (?) but I'll leave it to Harry to maybe give better info.

I'll keep a look out regardless and let you know if I find anything.

@MSinapi @Winter that’s the plan, but that’s just for the performance they missed, not for all the extra time and stress they went though. They’ll be losing other gigs from the stress I’m sure.

@harrym @Winter

True good point, and thanks for the link.

@harrym oh, so that was YOU
@chrisbooth yeah, I wasn’t pretending to be anyone else 😋
@harrym yeah I just hadn’t realised you on here was you at rallies
@chrisbooth heh there’s a reason you never saw us both in the same room :p good to see you there today!
@harrym I was there! It was so good to see everyone turn out. We keep us safe.
@harrym I’m so glad that the fash were outnumbered. Well done to everyone who went!
@harrym you bloody legends 💚💚💚💚💚💚
