Invasion Of The Daily Mail

Lesbian and gay activists invaded the London offices of the Daily Mail this month. The paper supports the retention of some of the most viciously homophobic legislation in Europe, the infamous "Section 28", which forbids the "promotion of homosexuality" by local authorities.

Two activists chained themselves to the paper's main newsroom, while three others took over the main atrium of the building, displaying banners and sounding horns in the presence of hundreds of office workers from the Mail and the London Evening Standard. On of them chained herself to a railing and had to be cut free. Outside, a third group of 20 protesters organised an impromptu queer street festival.
