Happy I could attend this remembrance event at the Irish Embassy in London for all those Irish men and women who left Ireland to escape the oppression of a state that criminalised them and failed to provide the services they needed in order to live HIV and die with dignity.

On my way to London to attend a World AIDS Day remembrance event with the Irish LGBTQ+ community and London Irish in the Irish embassy.

I’m honoured to have been invited to the event for my work with Irish people affected by HIV and AIDS going to and from London in the 1990s.

Sara Philips holds the room spellbound at the General Assembly of @rainbowrosepes.bsky.social as she talks about the state of play for #Trans people in Ireland and internationally.

Such a brilliant speaker and making it so relatable to the personal experience of Trans people.

Finally some good political news coming out of America. Perhaps now we will see a wider rejection of Trump and the Republicans by a majority of voters… if they are allowed to exercise their vote freely without interference by Trump.

It takes some neck to stand in front of the media complaining about political consensus being out of kilter with the grassroots while you have a €12,000+ Hermès bag hanging off your arm.

I assume Gavin is representing what Steen said accurately.

For me her 'campaign' has been one of entitlement.

This is worth hearing and spreading far and wide.

Crime in the U.K. is reducing over the last 25 years.

While immigration has increased crime has reduced. So if anything we should be saying more immigration = less crime 😉

Can you imagine him representing us on the international stage!

He hasn’t a clue what the role or the powers of the President are

He thinks he gets to dictate to Government what they do

He thinks quoting bits from the Proclamation of the Republic makes him sound good. Too many kicks to the head 🤦‍♂️

Wise words from Pedro Pascal. @pinknews.bsky.social

“It is important to protect people… especially those that are simply asking for the right to exist in the bodies that belong to them and in the world that they never asked to be brought into…”

Trans Rights are Human Rights!
