A TRANSSEXUAL has spoken of her distress after suffering a "barrage of abuse" in a Gloucester pub.

Paula, from Cheltenham, says she was sworn at and humiliated at a meeting of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender network.

The group were meeting at the Water Poet pub, in Eastgate Street, to discuss this year's Gloucestershire Pride event on August 9.

Paula, who is the chairwoman of Gloucestershire Pride, says the abuse was "atrocious".
