As Brighton braced for the wind and rain of Storm Antoni, the weather was branded 'transphobic' by rainbow people travelling to the UK's most popular pride event.

A spokesperson told FNN:

The wind and rain predicted from Storm Antoni shows how even the weather is against us and why climate-change is a catastrophe for the rainbow community and must be halted before it cancels us all.

The UK's meteorological office has added a new rainbow warning to its traditional traffic light weather alerts.

A spokesperson explained:

We have stuck with red and amber warnings for decades but we now acknowledge that a special rainbow warning is needed to ensure that we do not discriminate by only warning straight people of impending weather events.
