Absolutely, the victim-blaming is completely unacceptable.
I agree, Pride should have made sure that all staff anywhere in the event chain had had suitable training, but I do still think that primary blame should lie with the security contractor (employed by Westminster, incidentally, not by Pride) rather than with the event organisers. There is, of course, enough blame to go around any number of people.
