Really brilliant chat with Kate Nash on the PoliticsJoe podcast, talking trans rights and issues with the music industry. Well done @conorclark.bsky.social 👏 youtu.be/4oP5uAqLMTw?...

Kate Nash joined Ava and I on the @politicsjoe.bsky.social podcast last week. We spoke about why transphobia is inherently unfeminist and did a deep dive into her experience of the music industry, among many other things. Give it a listen, it’s one of my favourites! 👇

Worked with the incredible team at Terrence Higgins Trust to highlight the latest episode of I Kissed a Boy, which saw Adam bravely tell the cast that he’s living with HIV. Watch the full video below 👇

Discussed assisted dying on the PoliticsJOE podcast today👇

NEW: The UK has dropped to its lowest position ever on an official ranking of the best and worst places to be LGBTQ+ in Europe. Placing 22nd out of 49 countries, it was only 10 years ago that the UK topped @ilgaeurope.bsky.social’s annual review. Malta ranked the best and Russia the worst.

Statement from LGBT+ Lib Dems on political party suspension from major Prides this summer 👇 “We are sickened to our core to be lumped together with [Labour and the Tories] in a blanket suspension on political parties attending major Prides this year.”

NEW: Political party participation in Pride events has been banned by organisations in London, Manchester, Brighton and Birmingham. It comes after the Supreme Court’s ‘woman’ ruling, which the government has backed. “The UK must not follow this path of regression.” 👇

NEW: @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social asks the Equalities Minister - who believes trans women should use men’s toilets - to clarify this is not required by law, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling last week 👇

“Diversity is a strength, not a weakness.” 🏳️‍🌈 Spoke with the Mayor of London this morning about the global rise in anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, and how Trump’s policies could impact minorities here in the UK. 👇

. @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social says Labour has “been dragged in the wrong direction” on trans+ issues. “Our party must completely reject the tired narrative that trans people are a threat... It wasn’t true about gay men in the ‘80s, and it is not true about the trans community now.”

NEW: Labour’s Kevin McKenna shared that he has HIV during a House of Commons debate about National HIV Testing Week today 👇

NEW: Labour's @sarahowen.org.uk says she's disappointed more MPs didn't show up to this year's LGBTQ+ History Month debate. Suggests its theme should change from 'Activism and Social Change' to 'Survival and Existence' due to toxic political rhetoric targeting LGBTQ+ people.

NEW: Nia Griffith reaffirms Labour’s commitment to deliver a “fully trans-inclusive” ban of so-called ‘conversion therapy’ - says it will also “respect the important role that teachers, religious leaders, parents and carers can have in supporting” LGBTQ+ people

EXCL: I spoke to Keir Starmer moments after he became the first serving Prime Minister to publicly test for HIV. “We need to get the message out because I don’t think people necessarily know who’s most at risk,” he said, adding: “They wouldn’t necessarily get tested.”

GB News presenter Josh Howie linked the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful Over 40,000 people have filed their complaint to send to Ofcom. The more of us that complain, the harder it will be for Ofcom to ignore us 👇 goodlaw.social/i1m8

The new Bridget Jones film made me laugh and cry at the same time. What a way to end such an iconic film series after almost 30 years. 👏 I’ll never be able to get enough of this franchise, and Mad About the Boy is no different. Truly a must watch for all Bridget stans.

NEW: Labour MP @sarahowen.org.uk calls on govt to reaffirm support for all LGBTQ+ people amid rise in anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric “Trans people across the UK are struggling to… go about their lives with dignity, as their identity comes under constant attack from powerful people across the world.” #PMQs

NEW: Trump's administration has ordered organisations in other countries to stop distributing HIV meds bought with US aid, even if they are already in local clinics. Many people living with HIV now face abrupt interruptions to essential treatment.

NEW: G-A-Y Bar in London is set to go up for sale. Its owner Jeremy Joseph said the “tough decision” was made due to the financial and emotional strain put on him after sister venue Heaven was made to shut for around three weeks late last year. (1/2)

NEW: Donald Trump and JD Vance sit with blank expressions as bishop urges them “to have mercy” on LGBTQ+ people “There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives” Watch: news.sky.com/story/bishop...

Had fun on the @politicsjoe.bsky.social podcast last week talking all things AI and economy. Listen here 👇 youtu.be/gBnB74mIShU?...

Thank you for listening! 🫶

Had some things to say about the disgusting comments I have seen from a very loud minority of people online since The Vivienne passed. It’s something no LGBTQ+ person will be a stranger to, but it’s important to remember that the hate in these people’s miserable lives should hold no weight in ours.

I am heartbroken to learn that The Vivienne has passed and at a loss of what to say. One of the kindest, professional and outgoing queens you could ever hope to meet, who was such an immeasurable talent. Sending love to everyone who is feeling her loss tonight. 🤍

As we head towards the goal of ending new cases of HIV by 2030, things like PrEP and PEP are essential in making this a reality. But what’s the difference between the two? 🤔 (1/2)

…and then there were four!!! 🏁 Had the campest time of my life this morning sitting down with the Drag Race UK cast in our new Real Housewives reunion setup. We talked about everything from what it’s like to film Snatch Game, to the moments they can’t believe made it to air.

Red Run 2024 ❤️ This year I ran a 5k for Controlling Chemsex, a charity run by a small but mighty team who provide essential support to anyone struggling with chemsex. I’ve been lucky to work with them over the last few years and I’ve seen firsthand just how lifesaving what they do is.

Exit interview with the latest eliminated queen is now live! 👇 #DragRaceUK youtu.be/HN3VEnIWoPg?...
