Outside the Bristol City Council offices at Collage Green, Bristol, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 26th April 2025.

About this photographs.

As a result of the Scottish Supreme Courts ruling that the definition of sex should be the same as sex at birth, many transgenders with the support of the LGBT community, took to the streets in protest, all around the United Kingdom.

I found out that there would be one in Bristol, so I drove there, and arrived at the Collage Green park where the gathering crowd was growing larger until about 11am, when they started their march into the city centre.

In order to leave the park and make their way to the city centre, they needed to get across a street, so they could start walking on the route to the centre. At this part, a few of the protesters decided to block the road.

This car was at the front of the queue of cars waiting to get through, and the driver wanted to speak to the protesters, likely to ask how long the crossing would take, or to ask if there is another way around.

There was a calm chit-chat, the driver and the two protesters were having a calm chat, very much diplomatically. The person wearing the hood and sunglasses is one of the few organisers of the protest.

It was shot in colour, I converted it into black and white while in Adobe Lightroom, to try to get a dramatic feel to it.
