If a government wanted to stop us being strangers, it could stop shovelling money at the tech bros & surveillance & start spending it on buses & cycle infrastructure & public spaces, it could regulate pay, hours, working conditions & rents better so people had energy to engage in their community.

Agree with you! + these kind of explanations function to reduce the threat to an individual: an unconscious "its not going to happen to me because I eat my vegetables" etc. Individualistic public health messaging continues to the blame culture. Addressing the structural determinants of health is key

The introduction of Section 28 marked the peak of homophobic attitudes in the UK.
For the years it was law, the belief that homosexuality was wrong diminished and acceptance grew.
We lost the battle to halt Section 28 but it armed us well to win the war.
Laws can’t crush us.
Keep hope alive. 💜
