“God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” she added while pointing her finger at the man’s face.

Following the incident, Yusuf Patel uploaded the disturbing footage on Twitter and wrote:

“Disgusting homophobic abuse at those on Waltham Forest Pride today. No matter what form hate comes in, we must stamp it out and say no to all forms of hate!

“Also, very importantly we cannot call out one form of hate but be silent/complicit on others.”

After the confrontation, angry locals urged the police to find and arrest the abusive woman for hate speech.

“Gutted to see this and clear such hatred isn’t acceptable anywhere let alone in our home town – proud that many from all faiths and none today including Islam joined the Waltham Forest Pride march to show Walthamstow really does mean welcome,” Walthamstow MP Stella Creasey tweeted.

“We are aware of footage circulating on social media of abuse directed at those taking part in the Waltham Forest Pride event and enquiries are underway,” they announced.

“Abusing someone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity is a hate crime.

“If you have been verbally or physically abused, harassed or attacked in any way by someone because you are or they think you are LGBT+ please report these crimes to police or through a third-party agency.”
