\"(NEW)<\/a><\/p>\n

File: 2025002-0403<\/p>\n

Outside the Bristol City Council<\/b> offices at Collage Green,<\/b> Bristol, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 26th April 2025.<\/p>\n

About this photographs.<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Because the Scottish Supreme Courts ruled that the definition of sex<\/a> is biological sex<\/a> at birth, many transgenders all over the United Kingdom started a protest. I found out that there was going to be one in Bristol, so I decided to drive there.<\/p>\n

The protest started at 10am, at College Green park which is where the Bristol City Council is located, and by 11am, they started marching towards the city centre. I was doing photojournalism of the event.<\/p>\n

In order to leave College Green park, and march towards the city centre, they needed to cross the road, so a few of the protesters formed a roadblock.<\/p>\n

This is a viewpoint from the crowd of protests crossing the street, the two in front of the camera<\/a> are the human roadblock holding up the traffic, in order to allow the protesters to safety cross the street.<\/p>\n

On the left side of the road are two cars that had turned around, to try to find another way around, but the bus doesn\u2019t have much of a choice as it had a route to stick to.<\/p>\n

I figured to take this viewpoint, to give the illustration of what it looked like from the crossing protesters\u2019 point of view.<\/p>\n

It was shot in colour, I converted it into black and white while in Adobe Lightroom,<\/b> to try to get a dramatic feel to it.<\/p>\n

\nYou are welcome to comment about the subject in my photo, of the photo itself, or of your relevant experience. <\/b><\/p>\n
