Who gets to speak? Muslim Sexual Minorities in the East End of London

Recent events in the East End of London around anti-gay stickers put up supposedly by some Asian youth have triggered clear manifestations of Islamophobic sentiments amongst LBGTQ groups in London. Thus far there has been no evidence as to who is responsible for the act. The stickers had quotes from the Qur’an that refer to Allah’s vengeance. There was supposed to be a pride march organised after the stickers were put up; the East End Gay Pride (EEGP), which was eventually cancelled [1].
