One of the darkest periods of LGBT+ history was during the Second World War 🕯

Holocaust Memorial Day gives the world an opportunity to remember what discrimination can lead to, and perhaps today more than ever that is of paramount importance.

New ONS mortality data highlights health inequalities for LGB+ people, and why consistent monitoring is crucial.

For many across the LGBT+ sector, these findings are deeply concerning, but sadly not surprising.

1/4
This image has a white background with a rainbow coloured border. The black text reads: New ONS mortality data highlights health inequalities for LGB+ people, and why consistent monitoring is crucial. This image has a rainbow coloured background with black speech marks. The black text reads: These findings should act as a call to action. Better data is not an end in itself, but a tool to drive change. By committing to rigorous, inclusive monitoring and listening to LGBT+ communities, we can begin to close the gaps that this report lays bare and work towards a future where no one’s life expectancy is shortened by any aspect of their identity.

Intercom is a proud member of the @banconversionpractices Coalition, and we're calling on the Prime Minister to make 2026 the year the Government publishes a draft Bill to #BanConversionPractices.

We can’t accept another year of inaction

We know that for some LGBTQIA+ people, the festive season can bring a mixture of emotions. For some of us, it’s a welcome pause; for others, it can feel isolating, stressful, or maybe challenging. However you feel, we want you to know that our support is available.
