It's manipulative, disingenuous, and predatory.
It targets older, vulnerable people who won’t know the difference – aiming to convert through deception for views and ad revenue.

Today we mark #WorldAIDSDay. It's a day to remember the millions of lives lost to HIV and AIDS, but also to celebrate the lives saved by the scientific advancements of the last 40+ years. Compassion, science, and humanity has led the way.

A true icon. John was Britain’s – and perhaps the world’s – first openly gay high-profile athlete. He came out during the 1976 World Championships in Gothenburg, which he went on to win. John left a lasting impact on our community and countless others. Today, we remember him.

The law should protect victims, not enable abusive fundamentalists – with wealthy American backers – who believe in demonic possession! We’ve been campaigning on this for 45+ years. Theresa May promised a ban in 2018. Four Prime Ministers later, and we’re still campaigning!

'Conversion therapy' is nothing but hatred disguised as compassion. Each day it remains legal is another day someone in a high-control religious organisation is tortured. Beatings, forced prayer, and 'exorcisms' must be illegal. End this abuse. #BanConversiontherapy.

The majority of LGBT people are non-religious, and very few religious groups offer same-sex marriages. Humanist celebrants always have – and always will. Many LGBT couples want a fully recognised humanist wedding. It's time they were given that right.

Alan Turing, one of Britain’s most renowned humanists, was a visionary whose genius helped the Allies win WWII. Yet despite his extraordinary contributions, he was subjected to chemical castration by the British state in 1952. This #PrideMonth, we remember him. He was born #OnThisDay 1912.

Growing up gay means being surrounded by heteronormative ideas from every direction. We’re taught from the earliest age that boys marry girls, that love looks a certain way, that families follow a single pattern. And yet, despite all of that, we still come out gay.
Involving young children in Nursery and Years 1 and 2 in a mock ‘Christian wedding’ offers no educational value.
If genuine, however, this letter highlights the lengths to which some faith schools will go to immerse children in religious practices and church life.

For many, coming out also means confronting the beliefs they were raised with – not by choice, but because their religion refuses to accept who they truly are. So many of our members come to us through @faith2faithless.bsky.social.
