Today, we remember all lost to AIDS, honour caregivers, and thank the scientists who transformed HIV.
Let's be clear: HIV isn't a 'gay disease'; it knows no boundaries.
This World AIDS Day, we commit to fighting stigma, championing understanding, and building a world free from prejudice.
Today we commemorate Transgender Day of Remembrance and honour the transgender and gender non-conforming lives we've lost to violence or suicide.
We stand with the trans community and urge everyone to stand together for a safer, more inclusive world.

Happy #AceWeek from this asexual π
Learning that I'm asexual has been life changing in different ways. Throughout my 20s I felt like something was wrong with me. Having an answer was both a relief and scary.
Ace Week is an opportunity to reflect on what the community needs, and to take action.
The countdown is on. Book your place now and join us at the Global LGBTQ+ human rights summit #SaferToBeMe 2025.
