In honour of their slimy leader Farage, the far right have begun painting snails. 🐌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The photograph shows a small snail on a dark, rough-textured surface, possibly tarmac or concrete. The snail's shell has been painted with the flag of England, which is a red cross on a white background. The snail is facing towards the upper left of the frame, and its body is extended as if it's in the process of moving. The lighting is dim, suggesting it may be nighttime or an indoor environment with low light.

It is always worth remembering that coming out is a personal matter. Only you decide when you are ready to come out and if you want to.

Never be pressured into coming out. Here we talk about our coming out experiences and how it was for us.

Today is #NationalComingOutDay an annual LGBTQ+ awareness day to support those who are coming out.

Coming out isn’t always easy. We never know how loved ones will react. Some are supported, some aren’t.

There is always support out there. You are not alone.

If you haven't watched Haunted Hotel on Netflix, watch it! It is brilliant.

Definitely agree with Natacha and Victoria on this one
Don't get me wrong, it was hard transitioning in 97 when I was 16.
And I was quite isolated, as the community wasn't what it is now 🏳️‍⚧️
But overall it was safer, I was just able to get on and live my life, even when people knew I was trans.

Definitely, being trans in the last century was safer in the UK.

I think more UK people need to pay attention to American politics. It's what's to come if we aren't careful. Especially with Reform lurking in the shadows for the next GE. It genuinely terrifies me.

If you support her brand, you’re supporting her hate. You can’t call yourself an ally to trans people while funding her. I have and will continue to call them out on it. Trans rights are more important than a shitty wizard game.

Jess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 2d

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.
