Leeds Pussy Riot Flashmob, Protest Outside Milos

From the leaflet distributed at the protest that took place Thursday evening, 16th August 2012:

Why target the Wrens, Milos, and The Wellington?

Last weekend was Pride across the UK. Despite the best efforts of the Mayor of London, hundreds of thousands of people paraded in towns and cities across the country.

Here in Leeds the celebration were tempered somewhat by a Twitter storm emanating from a homophobic outburst by the proprietor of several city centre venues. Lewis Cuddy is co-owner of two pubs, The Wrens, and The Wellington, as well as shareholder of late-night bar Milo's.

"So once again it's time for lots of people to celebrate the fact that they are all socially unable to be normal. Well done. When is Leeds first peado pride event? Or is it just the same thing. Bonkers."

When this went viral Lewis Cuddy's response was far from apologetic:

"This is what angers me, why should a minority have different rights to the majority. Maybe saying that paedophiles should get their own minority event was a bit strong but clearly the people who my comments were aimed at would understand."

This isn't about individuals, this is about equality and freedom from fear and repression. An attack on the rights of anymore for their colour, sexuality, gender or any other aspect is an attack on equality itself.

By his steadfast refusal to apologise, let alone examine his discriminatory position, he proves himself unworthy to hold a place in a community that wants to have tolerance and equality. Anyone who shares those values should not be giving him their money. It's time to boycott his pubs and get anyone who isn't a homophobic bigot to do the same.
