LGBTQ+ counterprotesters sing & dance to YMCA to drown out anti-trans rally

Queer joy took centerstage in Glasgow, Scotland this weekend when a group of LGBTQ+ and allied counterprotestors danced and sang at the top of their lungs to drown out an anti-trans rally taking place in the city’s major square.

The “Let Women Speak” rally was hosted by Posie Parker, a well-known British Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist (TERF), or an activist who uses the language of feminism to oppose transgender equality.

Hundreds of people showed up to the counterprotest, which was planned by the group Cabaret Against Hate Speech. To ensure no one could hear Parker’s rhetoric, the group blasted “YMCA,” Lada Gaga, Liza Minelli, “Time Warp,” and more, and also featured performances and speeches. One video shows the protesters doing a conga line and shouting “trans rights” to the tune of Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.”
