Queer Twitter users have jumped to the defence of a couple who got engaged on the Tube during Pride in London.

The couple lit up the London Underground during Saturday’s (2 July) Pride celebrations, sharing their engagement with fellow passengers in a busy Tube carriage.

A TikTok video showed one-half of the couple getting down on bended knee while onlookers cheered.

But the happy moment was tainted for some by TikTok influencer Max Balegde, who called the proposal a “violation” while filming it, and said they would “be fuming if that was me”.

Lmao so @Balegde_ posted this video shitting on a queer proposal during London Pride on twitter, began getting backlash (rightfully), and took it down in response but KEPT it on TikTok.

Not remorseful or apologetic – just trying to dodge scrutiny
