    The first 5 people arrested were reportedly part of the LGBTQI+ community.

    Well that fucking sucks. :/

      They can be very exclusive. I’ve seen first hand many gay men absolutely hate on people in the trans community. In my experience if you don’t fit into one of their pre-assigned roles then you aren’t welcome. Also, those of us that don’t make our sexuality a primary part of our personality are often dismissed as ‘others’.

      Tribalism comes in many forms.

        4 out of 7 of those arrested so far have been reported to be women.

        My experience as a gay trans dude has been that cis gay men are about as exclusive and transphobic as any other cis segment of the community ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Like the highly niche, and still very real, group of “Super gays” that were born via C-section so they have never touched a vagina. There will always be people who want to take purity tests to an extreme.
