Militant trans activists were apprehended by security after launching a sabotage attack on the UK LGB Alliance convention in London on Friday, unleashing thousands of insects throughout the venue. The conference includes gay and lesbian speakers who are critical of transgender ideology. A number of suspected co-conspirators evaded capture; however, four were detained before being released from police custody later in the evening.
Video footage captured by journalist Andy Ngo, Senior Editor of The Post Millennial, shows a group of trans activists being escorted into an elevator by event security. Some insects they had unleashed could be seen crawling all over them. Police were called to the scene, and the conference had to be evacuated.
The pro-trans militants were tight-lipped when Ngo questioned them in the elevator to seek more information. They smirked at the questions while deciding to remain silent. It's unclear if all of the disrupters identified as transgender, although at least several of them presented as the opposite sex from birth.
Ngo overheard the detainees laughing and issuing an admission of guilt, saying they launched the sabotage attack on claims the UK LGB Alliance 'Our Lives! Our Future!' conference was transphobic.

The attack prompted an evacuation of the main conference room, and the speakers and attendees had to be relocated to the lobby.
A group called Trans Kids Deserve Better issued a responsibility claim for the attack, writing in a blog post on its website: "Trans youth are powerful and we will let them f*cking know it."
The post praised the "crick-kids" for reportedly releasing 6,000 insects into the conference at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Hall in Westminster shortly before speakers were about to give a lecture on the dangers of sex changes for minors. The group described the LGB Alliance conference as a "breeding ground for fervent and violent transphobia."
"The result of the conference, if it had gone ahead as planned, would have been an acceleration of transphobic hate and misinformation, which drives much of the attack on our healthcare and our dignity," the group said.
Ngo later revealed that the youth suspects were released from police custody after one of their mothers arrived to retrieve them. The mother is a law academic at King's College London who specializes in researching minors in police custody. She is also a criminal defense barrister. No charges have been filed against the suspects.
Some of the suspects have been involved in other militant trans direct actions, video footage shows.
The LGB Alliance is a charity that provides support to gay, lesbian, and bisexual people around the world. The organization's goal is to "uplift LGB people by preserving their history, celebrating their achievements, and by working to create conditions in which lesbian, gay, and bisexual people can thrive," according to its website.
The group has been criticized by far-left LGBTQ+ activists for being openly critical of radical transgender ideology.

A fundraiser on Just Giving has been launched to raise money for the alleged trans youth criminals, hoping to raise at least one thousand euros in support of the "crick-kids."
The incident remains under investigation.
