LGBTQI+ rights are human rights. This is no more apparent than in the “Rainbow Map,” an annual report by ILGA-Europe @ilgaeurope.bsky.social, an Open Society grantee, that ranks 49 European countries on their legal and policy practices for LGBTQI+ people.
Malta, Belgium, and Iceland are the top countries for LGBTQI+ rights in Europe. The UK, Hungary, and Georgia saw steep falls in LGBTQI+ rights in the past year. Russia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey place last.

Fantastic news in our fight to save jobs, as interim Principal Prof Nigel Seaton confirms that there will be no redundancies. A massive victory for everyone who has supported us.

Looking forward to receiving the removal of Section 188 in writing.

Au XIIIe siècle, les béguines sont des femmes qui se regroupent pour vivre ensemble, en respectant une règle monastique tout en restant laïques.

Aujourd'hui, je vous partage un superbe texte pour plonger au cœur de la spiritualité de ces béguines, féministes avant l'heure... ⬇️ #medievalsky
