Hungary’s PM Viktor Orbán is threatening to ban Budapest Pride 2025, sparking outrage over attacks on LGBTI rights & democracy. Last year, 35,000 marched, this year, even more are expected. Banning Pride would silence dissent & set a dangerous precedent www.ilga-europe.org/news/stateme...

Last night, I hosted an event with @unisonlgbtplus.bsky.social on supporting workers who are living with HIV.

It was great to hear from so many amazing speakers from @thtorguk.bsky.social, @nationalaidstrust.bsky.social and @unison.org.uk.

We must tackle HIV stigma in the workplace.
