JOMEC went to this protest and we spoke with some people there. Ostensibly they claim to be against RSE but within 10 minutes of chatting they talk about fears of 'our kids turning gay.' One man we spoke to told us evolution is a myth.

Further, you article claims the protest was organised by Public Child Protection Wales, when most of the signs there were from School Gate Campaign. Spend 1 minute on their website and you will find homophobic and transphobic ideology.

I think it goes without saying that when a mainstream news publication covers ‘protests’ like these (I maybe saw a maximum of 15 adults there) it serves to legitimise and endorse the views of some very unsavoury people, who use ‘protecting children’ as a shield for bigotry

Your article means well but it is categorically inaccurate and misleading in the respect that it completely misrepresents the views of the majority of the people at the protest I spoke with.

This is a win for no one. Yes men can be victims, but victims can also be abusers. Let’s not forget that 12 out of 14 alleged assaults on Heard were proved true in the UK. Rich people flinging shit and money at each other will never be a bastion for male OR female abuse victims.
