I’ve reluctantly verified our account. I hate supporting illiberal figures like Elon Musk, but the X algorithm seems to work against human rights organisations & activists. Our engagement has dropped significantly & we can’t let our voice be silenced. #HumanRights

‘Creating inequality’: Hong Kong’s flawed same-sex partnership registration proposal criticised. Government's plan omits "core" legal protections. It will only benefit couples whose marriage or partnership was registered overseas ie rich LGBTs. SHAME!.

Prince William made £22.9.MILLION last year. But he won’t say how much tax he paid. What is he trying to hide?. We fund the monarchy, so the least we deserve is transparency. ✍️ Sign the petition if you agree:

For the FIRST TIME in history, the Royal Family have publicly acknowledged the LGBT+ community. “Happy Pride!” the Royal Family wrote in a social media post on 5 July alongside a rainbow & sparkle emoji . The royals accept LGBTs. ABOUT TIME TOO!.

Labour promised to ban conversion therapy. We are still waiting. One year on from the last general election, there is still no ban. Not even legislation in waiting. No draft bill. Nothing! #StopDithering. READ MORE in @AttitudeMag.

‘We thought we could be ourselves’: LGBTs fled Uganda’s harsh anti-gay laws only to face similar persecution in Kenya. LGBTs face extreme violence from other refugees & from Kenyans. No protection given by UN @Refugees agency or @KenyaRedCross. SHAME!.

Manchester Police should be banned from @ManchesterPride after the Chief Constable refused to apologise for his force’s past homophobic persecution. Only true allies are welcome at Pride. Pride isn’t a PR opportunity for institutions that witch-hunted us.

A woman in Russian-occupied Crimea was fined over $1,000 for posting photos of men in wedding dresses. 👰♂️💸. Apparently, tulle and taffeta are now a national security threat, according to Putin. You can’t make this stuff up. FOLLOW @UkraineSol.

Same-sex couple recognised as a family by Ukrainian court in landmark LGBT+ legal ruling. This decision is a legal milestone on the road to marriage equality in Ukraine. 70% of Ukrainians now support equal rights for LGBTs. BRAVO!.

Football Association now requires trans men to declare they’re “biological females” & accept they will be at “greater risk of injury” when they play in men’s leagues. So trans men can play, but only if they deny their identity & accept the risk injury.

In Myanmar’s brutal war, the military is weaponising sexual violence against women, children & LGBT+ people. More than half of the victims treated for sexual assaults were under the age of 18. SHAME!.
