When Labour in the future say you have to vote for them to stop Reform – remember there are countless reasons that argument is equal parts absurd and offensive.

But 26th August 2025 should stand out for their complete capitulation to the right.

Absolutely shameful.

Straight person who hadn't heard of the Polari Prize until last week: the trans mob have ruined my favourite literary prize

A promo shot from Truth or Dare, the documentary of her Blonde Ambition tour, depicting Madonna surrounded by her dancers, almost all of whom were gay.

The Facts About AIDS insert. Sensible safer sex information from the 1980s.

Madonna championed LGBTQ rights when few dared to.
She insisted a gay kiss remain in her concert documentary.
She shared HIV information with a ‘Facts about AIDS’ insert in ‘Like a Prayer’.
There’s a reason why gay men of a certain age (my age) will always have her back.
Happy birthday mother!

You shouldn’t say you’re confident ‘the commission will lose’. They deserve to and they should rot for their maliciousness towards trans people but you’re getting people’s hopes up unnecessarily.

Turning people who happen to work in shops and gyms into the gender police and banning trans men from *any* public toilet? Fuck Labour to hell the fucking bunch of absolute bigoted CUNTS

Starmer is the kind of guy who’d watch someone choke to death because the polls said Reform voters think the Heimlich manoeuvre sounds both German AND French

Mandy Rhodes tweeting ‘Regardless of whether Sandie Peggie is a racist, homophobe or any other kind of -obe, it has nothing to do with her right as a woman to complain about a man being in the female changing room unless of course you need to pass a purity test before you can be considered a victim.’

The editor of Holyrood magazine muses whether women need to pass purity tests to be considered ’victims’. No. But you do need to uphold professional standards to be considered a ‘nurse’ and not being a racist bigot is the bare minimum. Mocking flood victims in Pakistan is disgusting. 🔽

Updated: Starmer’s Labour: The most anti-LGBT+ govt since Thatcher. A list of the awful things they've done and said regarding LGBT+ people, especially trans people.

Disgraceful from you lot. Won’t you get it into your heads. Labour will NEVER stand up for trans people under the current leadership, no matter how much sucking up you do. Every self respecting LGBT person should boycott them, dialogue with them will get you no where. 100% guaranteed.

And to the many, many, many people who went, "But even a Dem who is bad on trans rights would be better than a Republican!" I want you to talk to some trans people in the UK to ask them how things are going under the current Labour government.

Why bother? Anyone LGBT+ and *still* supporting Labour is beyond me. They aren’t going to change unless there’s a complete change at the top. And that not going to happen. I find it offensive tbh that LGBT+ people still support and vote for them.

My life as a transgender teacher as we enter a new era of 'Section 28' Sasha Greene, a transgender teacher writes under a pseudonym to protect them as they discuss the difficulties of being Trans+ in education in the UK

🍎 "My experience is a testament to how, despite hateful and ignorant anti-trans views becoming centred by a select vocal minority at a national level, empathy and solidarity exist all around us."

Keir Starmer says he won’t listen to @greenparty.org.uk

He’s not listening to refugees, climate scientists, trans people, Disabled people, struggling communities - or the innocent people being murdered with UK funded weapons.

What a dire Prime Minister he was always going to be.

The atmosphere in the room had by now descended into a fog of paranoia. Who could be trusted? One gender-critical woman suggested that everyone in the audience turn to the person next to them, ask what they were doing there and, if they weren’t satisfied with the answer, demand they leave. Another tried to preemptively chuck someone out because they looked suspicious (I thought this was because they were young, which would have been funny, but a Dyke Project member later told me it was because they looked like they might be trans, which is less so.) A lone voice of reason in the audience cried out, “we’re not going to do an age-based witch hunt!”

Fox News screen showing Mamdani’s platform, next to a photo of him HOUSING AFFORDABILITY • FREEZE THE RENT • BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING CREATING CITY-OWNED GROCERY STORES • FARE FREE BUSES LGBTQIA + PROTECTIONS LABOR • EXPANDING AND PROTECTING GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE CITYWIDE • MAKING NYC AN LGBTGIA+ SANCTUARY CITY RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE TO $30 BY 2030 TRUMP-PROOFING NYC END ICE COOPERATION ZOHRAN FOR NEW YORK CITY

This is an image maga is posting to stoke fear of Mamdani. A list of things that sound awesome

Its worth noting that in Britain, Mamdani would have thrown out of the Labour Party by a small room full LinkIn weirdos and then replaced by a former private healthcare lobbyist who would go on to lose by 5,000 votes to a Reform candidate who was a convinced sex offender.

Rebecca Paul MP — who at the Women and Equalities Committee last week spoke so much about women's rights (in order to undermine trans people's) — is now speaking in Parliament against the decriminalisation of abortion.

You couldn't make it up. These people are not feminists.

I’ll buy one if he comes with it 😆

Landlords will be forced to fix mould in social housing in England from October, the government announces

Joanne Rowling, who writes as Robert Galbraith, melting

5,000,005 would be too high on the list 🤢

There's a whole genre of center left pundit that is like "The Right taking away healthcare, denying science, removing human rights and lying about vulnerable people is a travesty! Can people not see what they are doing?! But also they have a point about trans people"

Transphobia is no more "acceptable" than any other form of bigotry, and I continue to be absolutely astounded, shocked, and revolted that otherwise "liberal" people think otherwise.

What do they want transgender people to do? Hide away?
Pretend they don't exist?

Liberty launches legal action against EHRC over ‘unlawful’ Code of practice consultation - Liberty

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE:

We’re taking legal action against the UK’s equality watchdog, the EHRC

That Wes Streeting, a gay man who used to work at stonewall, is having to attempt to rebuild bridges with his own community because he burnt them by selling us out in the hope of getting his slimy hands on the keys to 10 Downing Street is shameful.

May he never be welcome in an LGBTQ+ space again.

No one who cares about wildlife and ecosystems is now likely to vote Labour in 2029.
Or about Gaza.
Or poverty.
Or inequality.
Or international aid.
Or corporate power.
Or democratic reform.
Or racism.
Or trans rights.
So that's goodbye to just about its entire vote.
What are they playing at?

"Gender neutral toilets are available on floor 1 and 15 of our London office." I am somehow reminded of the bit in "Hidden Figures" where the brilliant Black mathematician is forced to run across campus on her break to get to a bathroom she is allowed to use...

They see you as irrelevant. Stop wasting your time. LGBT people are DONE with Labour and there’s absolutely zero sign of going back.

UK now ranking alongside Russia and Hungary - tremendous work by the Labour party.
