Hi @sianberry.bsky.social - what is your response to this blatant transpobia in the centre of Brighton?

How the hell is this being allowed to happen? @sianberry.bsky.social

Tip of the iceberg.

Reading a book on Auschwitz and Nazis and just came across a bit discussing how the Nazis first planned to ship millions of Jews to Africa and how that idea, in 2004 when the book was written, seems 'far fetched today'.

20 years later, how many people did the Tories want to send to Rwanda?

Breaking News: Member of the LGBTQ+ community has bigoted relatives. This has never happened in the history of ever, only Chappell Roan.

Darin Chappell, who's a Missouri legislator actively pushing anti-trans laws, is her uncle. 🤎

Chappell Roan Declares She's “Voting for Fucking Kamala Harris” Following Backlash

Recent quotes about the 2024 election and “problems on both sides” of government had fans saying H-O-T-T-oh no and led to dual clarification videos from Roan.

I have deeply bigoted brothers, that doesn’t make me bigoted or make me responsible for their behaviour.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

Gavin Newsom fucking sucks, part MCXVII

he still has until the end of the week for the rest of the bills so unfortunately it’s time to suck it up, call his office, and politely ask this living hairpiece to do the bare minimum to protect the most vulnerable among us

Had a fun night out in Manchester’s gay village last night (leather guys everywhere I felt underdressed) compare Manchester council’s attitude to the village treating it as a community asset rather than Westminster’s view of Soho as an area to be cleansed www.manchester.gov.uk/news/article...

The owner is vile and this venue is stuck in the 90s but successive councils are getting what they wanted for Soho to be a “family area”

GAY closing down by this weekend.

This sucks, and I really do think the straightification of Old Compton Street will get so much worse without GAY anchoring the area...
