This article was briefly amended to include @ALLIANCELGB side of the story but I can’t see it any more. Some might say that such hysterical anger at LGB people organising to protect their right to be same sex attracted is the very definition of #homophobia

Here’s what @ALLIANCELGB said “LGB Alliance is a registered charity whose goals are to promote equality and human rights for LGB people. All the publicly funded LGBTQIA+ groups now focus on the importance of gender identity,

saying that feelings of gender identity should supersede anything to do with biological sex. That is why we need our own organisation and services. LGB Alliance receives messages from young LGB people

and their families asking for help. They ask where they can go. Where are the clubs or helplines for young people who want to socialise with others of the same sex, or talk to someone who can help with concerns about their sexual orientation.

These spaces and services simply do not exist any longer. That is why we, and so many others who are able to see through the confusion spread by the main LGBTQIA+ organisations, welcome this decision by the Lottery.

Sexual orientation is a protected characteristic in the 2010 Equality Act. Young LGB people deserve services funded by the Lottery just as much as those of any other protected characteristic."
