@LabourBristol For clarity, this is old parade footage. Until Labour commits to standing up for our entire community, they will not be welcome to march. Our ban on political parties marches remains in place this year.

It was also wonderful to hear from @Dylan4Compton. As we reflected on what Alan might have achieved, we heard of repeated cycle of prejudice once aimed and gay men now aiming at the Trans community and how the new livery reflects the unity & strength within that for our community

On #TransDayOfRemembrance we must remember those who've been lost. With those working to divide us, and our community becoming fractured, we must show unfaltering support to our trans family who face ever-increasing attacks against their rights. Don't stand by, speak out & act.

A sad & stark reminder of why we continue to fight for equality. Why LGBT+ people still fear simple things like sharing a kiss or holding hands in public. Why we still need #Pride events and why you don't get a #straightPride, you have it everyday

#WorldOceanDay a great time to remind you to purchase biodegradable glitter for #Pride There's an incredible range available now and standard glitter is a micro plastic that fills our oceans. So make the switch and shimmer without the guilt.

So disappointed by UK government move to block the Scottish Gender Reform Bill. A bill years in consideration & debate, that aligns with international practice, endorsed by the UN and already adopted by 30 counties. It undermines the devolution. It’s disrespects us all. 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈
