Crickets released at event attended by JK Rowling to protest against her anti-trans views.

It was chaos at the LGB Alliance conference in London today when thousands of crickets were released, causing a stir among attendees. The conference, which was already controversial due to its focus on gender-critical views, had received a video message from renowned author JK Rowling earlier in the day. The room erupted in cheers when she boldly stated, "Lesbians don't have penises." However, the celebratory mood was short-lived when the crickets were unleashed, creating a scene reminiscent of the plagues of Egypt.

Pictures and videos of the conference quickly spread on social media, showing the insects crawling over chairs and being scooped up from the floor. Amidst the chaos, a speaker can be heard jokingly saying, "Just kill the bugger," while attendees laughed. The head of the charity hosting the conference later described the incident as "distressing."

It was later revealed that the crickets had been released by pro-trans activists, who claimed responsibility for the act. According to the group Trans Kids Deserve Better, approximately 6,000 insects were released in an attempt to disrupt the conference and end it early. They stated that the crickets, which posed no danger to humans, were meant to symbolize the end of the conference and its controversial views.

The LGB Alliance, which advocates for the rights of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people, has been criticized by trans rights activists for their stance on "gender ideology." They oppose medical transition and self-identification, citing concerns for the safety of women-only spaces. However, the insect release failed to stop the conference from continuing.

A spokesperson for Trans Kids Deserve Better expressed anger at the way trans children were being talked about and treated by the LGB Alliance. "We deserve dignity," they stated, highlighting the ongoing struggle for acceptance and safety within the LGBTQ+ community.

In response to the incident, the head of the LGB Alliance, Kate Barker, called it "distressing" and condemned the actions of the pro-trans activists. She stated that the attempt to disrupt the conference only served to bring the attendees together and strengthen their determination to fight against the rise of homophobia.

The situation escalated when some of the activists fled while others were detained by security and escorted from the premises. The police are currently investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made yet. As the controversy continues, it is a reminder of the ongoing tensions and divisions within the LGBTQ+ community.
