The T-shirt worn by MP Lisa Nandy at Wigan Pride has upset members of a Labour campaign group A campaign group for the rights of gay and bisexual people has written an open letter to MP Lisa Nandy following her appearance at Wigan Pride.

Wigan News published our open letter to @lisanandy but β€˜declined to comment’ . So the voters of her constituency will be left wondering why she chose to wear such an offensive garment.

The recent picture of The Rt. Hon. Lisa Nandy MP with a 'Protect the Dolls' t-shirt was both upsetting and disappointing. Here is our letter to Lisa explaining why and ask her for a moment of reflection and consideration.

The awareness of the SC’s decision on the EA2010 of protected characteristics and only two sexes has not filtered down to the @lionandlobster pub in Brighton. @HumanGayMale were to hold an alternative private Pride meeting there but the pub listened to β€˜terfwatch’ and denied service. Boycott

Pool player Harriet Haynes had his case for discrimination against English Blackball Pool Federation @EBPF_Pool THROWN OUT. They stood firm by its policy of excluding males from the female category. What now for @ultimatepool_ & @WepfPool who backed down? Do have a good weekend.

The violence of advocates of the QT+ results in vandalising @wesstreeting office. We express our solidarity with Wes, his constituency workers and neighbouring businesses who should be able to come to work without fear or harrassment. @LabourParty

Just to save you the need of downloading the pdf, we reproduce for you the WDI UK response to the 'Safe With Me' Campaign. Well may the person be safe with you, but are you safe from them?

Schools should ground young people in truth and reality. No teacher should be teaching contested ideas as if they were factual.

We welcome this excellent guidance from Bridget Phillipson, which makes it clear that the contested concept of "Gender Identity" doesn't belong in the classroom.

As Labour Party members, we are concerned that an affiliated socialist society is considering breaking the law by appointing a male into a position reserved for women. We are asking LGBT+ Labour to tell us whether they believe this is permissible. @LGBTLabour @UKLabour

In our zeal to celebrate our LGB pride, we concentrated on people but left out one very important organisation. This is, of course, For Women Scotland. With persistence and tenacity, FWS changed the legal landscape with their Supreme Court victory. We salute you! @ForWomenScot

So the 'Pride' month of June is finally over. Now it's time to reclaim Pride for us - the one's who started it - the Lesbian, Gays and Bisexuals who stood up first to be counted. The LGB fight continues today. Here we are - and allies too.

As we near the end of Pride month, let's celebrate the real stars for their commitment and their achievements. Here is a list of those who have stood up to be counted, some campaigning in the background, but all who have taken pride in our re-emerging LGB community. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

We are concerned about the proposed Conversion Practices Bill. LGB people were not named once in the Bill’s announcement. The Bill is seriously flawed due to the conflict of interests between LGB and TQ+. Including Trans results in LGB conversion to the opposite sex.

A questionable statement from discredited @stonewalluk . Why, despite calling themselves a charity for LGBTQ+ rights, haven't mentioned importance of clarification of sex for same-sex attracted people i.e. LGB. Rights of assoc'n was central to judgment. Stonewall trans'n to TQ+?

Proposed @NHSEngland service for detransitioners must ALSO support those with problems following hormonal/surgical interventions: ongoing psychosocial difficulties & health complications from treatment. β€˜Gender-affirming’ approach of gender clinics is not appropriate for them.

And so ends #LGBHistory month for 2025. We have done a service and disservice. A service in shining a light on LGB people who should be seen, admired, appreciated. A disservice as the light is not bright enough. Be amazed and impressed by our community. But most of all, go and live your life too!
