https://gcn.ie/watch-lesbian-actresses-shut-down-sexist-gang-of-men-on-london-train/
In a video clip now being shared across the internet, actresses Josie Kemp and Lauren Soley stood up to a group of drunken men on a London train on Saturday night due to the groups disrespectful and disruptive behaviour. The Les Miserables actresses, who are also a couple, were horrified with the actions of the men on the train and, after another woman tried to speak out against the sexist gang and was jeered into silence, the pair confronted the group with Josie capturing the interaction on video.
Josie explained to PinkNews that the men were causing trouble as soon as they boarded the train, allegedly mimicking an Indian accent of another passenger just moments after stepping foot into the carriage. She went on to discuss how the men started the sexist chant as the train left the platform, as heard in the video later posted by Josie to Youtube. The aforementioned woman telling the men to shut up can be heard at the beginning of the clip with the response of laughter and snide comments from the men before Josie and girlfriend Lauren step in to also attempt silencing the large group.
In the video Lauren can be heard arguing with the drunken men, explaining to them why their actions were wrong, sexist, homophobic and racist. The men rebutled loudly, causing even more of a disturbance egregiously denying the womens claims, much of which had video evidence to back them up. The sexist gang went on to mock LGBT+ identities in a last ditch attempt to defend themselves as they now were aware they were being filmed while also continuing to belittle and humiliate the women on board.
