I’ll tell you what I see when I look at the #RainbowMap 2025, which was published this morning, an absolute failure of government.
The UK once stood proudly at the top of Europe on LGBTI legal equality. Now we’ve slipped into the yellow.
Well done to all the countries continuing to make progress.

Thanks so much for highlighting this Madi. Protective factors, particularly individual and community strengths and resiliency are so often over-shadowed. Glad we could emphasise this in our scoping review. Of course, we wish LGBTQ+ young people did not need this resiliency in the first place! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
This is so important! The article describes minority resilience as protection against suicide in LGBTQ+ youth. The minority resilience included self-affirmation, involvement in activism, and queer friendships and peer support.
📣 Publication: A systematic scoping review on risk and protective factors for suicidality among LGBTQ+ young people
➡️ The first review to use the socio-ecological model to understand these factors
➡️ And, an intersectional lens to examine within-group differences

The Executive Ban isn't just about puberty blockers but about the systemic failure of Stormont to cater to LGBTQ community needs...
Not one single mention of LGBTQ people in the new Programme for Government.
PRIDE IS A PROTEST! And we will continue to use it to call their failures out!
