A Reform UK councillor is facing trial after being accused of remonstrating with staff at an LGBTQ festival over a drag artiste's 'gyrating' stage show.
Self proclaimed 'radical feminist and mum' Amanda Clare, 54, was arrested after she was seen taking pictures of transgender performers dancing and singing in front of children at this year's annual Winsford Pride in Cheshire.
The former Labour councillor, who defected to Reform in March, had previously accused stall holders at the event of targeting children with 'sexualised and ideological merchandise that promoted medical gender transition.'
She also complained about a man dancing in a burlesque style at the 2024 festival, who was wearing skimpy women's knickers and star-shaped nipple stickers.
Clare, who is known as Mandy, claimed she did not attend the festival again, in June this year, to protest or cause trouble but went along because she had a 'legitimate safeguarding role.'
