Paul Golding, leader of Britain First, incorrectly claimed in a June 2023 tweet that a photograph of children passing by naked men was taken at an LGBT 'Pride' event.

Upon investigation, the photograph was actually captured at the World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) in London on June 10, 2017, a demonstration against car culture, not at a specific Pride event.

The connection to Pride events was further disproved as a thorough examination of the WNBR London Facebook page did not reveal any content specifically related to Pride month.

The skeptic movement is a collective endeavor that promotes the respect for knowledge and truth, methodological naturalism, science, reason, critical thinking, and consumer protection, and aims to distinguish legitimate science from pseudoscience, uphold ideological freedom, understand cognitive biases, address specific flawed or pseudoscientific claims, maintain cultural memory of past pseudosciences and scams, and improve science communication and journalism.
