We stand firmly with our trans and non-binary siblings today with the news of the Maya Forstater appeal. We join our colleagues at @Mermaids_Gender & @stonewalluk to stress that this judgement is not an unreserved victory for those wishing to deny trans rights & dignity:

1/12 "This judgment does not mean that those with gender-critical beliefs can ‘misgender’ trans persons with impunity…The Claimant, like everyone else, will continue to be subject to the prohibitions on discrimination and harassment under the Equality Act 2010.”

LGBT Foundation is proud to support the full diversity of LGBT communities. We are shocked at the decision by the @ChtyCommission to grant charitable status to LGB Alliance.

See our full statement from our Chief Executive @PaulMartinOBE below.

lgbt.foundation/news/lgbt-foun… "We are shocked that the Charity Commission has registered the self-styled LGB Alliance as we do not believe that any organisation which actively targets and campaigns against trans communities should be granted charitable status.

Racism has no place in the Pride movement.

We are extremely concerned by the experiences shared by Rhammel Afflick, the Community Advisory Board and others within Pride in London.

[1/4] It’s vital that all white-led organisations redouble our efforts to address institutional racism. This must begin by listening to and empowering our colleagues of colour and taking meaningful actions to eliminate racism in our own organisations.

We are incredibly disappointed to see the recent guidance from the Church of England’s House of Bishops, and we know that this news will be met with heavy hearts by many LGBT Christians today.

[1/4]

independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n… Sex is an important part of relationships for many people, as is their faith, and LGBT people deserve the right to express all parts of their identity.

The views expressed by the House of Bishops are out of line with many people across the country.

"Today is my first #BiVisibilityDay as a bi person who is out publicly. I am fortunate to come from a family that is very supportive of the LGBTQ communtity, and indeed I have two family members who are out and blazed the way. [1/13] So I grew up knowing that if I came out as gay, I would be loved. Despite this, it still took until I was in my 30s for me to understand that I am bi. This is mostly because as a young cis woman, I knew I was attracted to men. [2/13]
