The UK have fallen down the @ilgaeurope.bsky.social rainbow map to 22nd place. A decade ago, we were number 1. This confirms that we are falling behind other Western European countries on LGBT+ equality. Not happy? Join UNISON & let's demand better: www.unison.org.uk/join

This ruling undermines workplace equality, threatens trans rights, and risks dividing our communities. We reject any attempt to roll back hard-won protections.

Trans rights are human rights.

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...
