They need a new hobby. Maybe they could watch some paint dry or something?

Important to do. Prevent the anti trans activists from infiltrating the council of Europe!

The @consortium.lgbt says LGBTQ+ charities in the UK are now operating in a “hostile environment" amid a growing crisis of underinvestment and the ripple effects of Trump-era attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights.

What is it with Pride CEOs? 🚮

My suspicion is that the Trans community and allies left Twitter and arrived here early but it’s still worth re-upping this for those who left it a little longer:

We sent a formal complaint to the BBC over its repeated misgendering of trans people and use of terms like “biological male”. We’ve also written to the Women and Equalities Committee, DCMS, and the Minister for Women and Equalities. Now we need community action.

📢We now need your help! 1/3

West Midlands Railway | PRIDE As seen on 730018 at Birmingham New Street

Today, we will be starting off 2026 by attending what might be the first protest for trans rights of the year.

GATE (Guiders Against Trans Exclusion)'s Birmingham protest against Girlguiding's ban on trans girls will begin at 12:00 noon.

Come back to the thread closer to the time for updates.

No one can deny the hard-line transphobic and homophobic ideology of the “Christian” Institute.

Trans lives matter, and public bodies need to be held accountable ✊ 6/6

We will be reporting on this protest today.

Watch this thread at 12 as that will be when the protest is scheduled to start.

Just a reminder with the holidays coming up that you don’t owe your family that visit. You owe yourself being safe and happy.

You can get support from lgbt.foundation

And you can always call the Samaritans:
☎️ 116 123

Hoping to get an intro at the weekend, but yeah otherwise will try Nick. Thanks!

We’re reaching out to local LGBT charities to see how we can support fundraising with the collapse of Pride.

If there’s anyone in the #McrGayVillage Business Association who could reach out or someone can put us in touch we’d like to talk and coordinate ♥️
