If someone seems to strangely walk up to you holding a microphone up to you saying “i’m just asking questions.” they are likely Boditle (a well known alt right troll who will posts their interactions on Youtube with your face without asking for your permission.) or they may just be an right wing troll. So without adding a celebrity name to it, these individuals are usually signified as alt right trolls or similarly.

If someone doesn’t have a microphone and they approach you, to talk, make good judgement. Do they make you feel comfortable with their presence, are they talking like they are seriously here for the movement, protest, or LGBTQ+ parade. Are they questioning your sign or shirts, or outfit (if you’re holding a sign or etc.)

You should avoid putting hands on the individual (even if they aren’t seriously injured they can still claim assault to the law cops against you.) and report them to the event organizers, and if things escalate, with the alt right trolls behavior, may have to get the law involved. In short don’t feed trolls.
A little off topic but Mormons, at least in my area, are also always in groups of 2. Either way, sounds like pretty solid advice in my eyes.
There is a scripture about evangelizing in pairs. It was part of how first century Christians operated. The early Christians were structured in a very egalitarian socialist-like system where all members preached in all settings and there was no central figurehead or authority like a pope. Witnesses are probably the closest you will find to a group that follows what it would have been like in the first century… If you’re into that kind of rabbit hole. The scripture about preaching in pairs is why you’ll find most neo reformation Christian religions have many members that preach. It is actually written as a fundamental requirement in order to be a Christian. This is ignored by most because it is not compatible with a clergical class or central authority.
