England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 is going home!!! #WorldCup #EnglandVsArgentina #ArgentinaCurse #England #Football #FIFA #FIFAWorldCup

I need to get things off my chest. Being #neurodivergent has been really hard as well as being myself in my #gay men’s group who I hang out with. It has been really tough as for others to understand me that it requires reasonable adjustments. Just need to get it out. I’m not ok. #ItsOKNOTtobeok

Emma!!! Congratulations!!! The swimming costume is well made! First garment of the week! Whoop whoop! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @sewingbee.bsky.social #sewingbee #GBSB

Well done Rebecca! I think it will be her or Emma will win garment of the week for the first week of @sewingbee.bsky.social #sewingbee #GBSB #sewing #madetomeasure

Definitely HEAT PRESS after sewing! It is a big crucial process. Always eye to detail is very IMPORTANT when sewing own garments! Forget fast fashion & go to your tailors!!! 👔 @sewingbee.bsky.social #sewingbee #tips #sewing #sewingtips

Well done Sam, you definitely have redeemed yourself! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻@sewingbee.bsky.social #sewingbee

Not bad for the sewers’ own made to measure challenge! What a first! @sewingbee.bsky.social well done contestants! #sewingbee 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Invisible zips are really hard, just more practice to be more precise & perfection. I will need to practice with the sewing book to know how to do it. @sewingbee.bsky.social #sewingbee #gbsb #sewing

It is better to do a lot of own garments before going on the @sewingbee.bsky.social for sure! BEST ADVICE! ✅ @sewingbee.bsky.social #sewingbee #GBSB

I would love to struct that catwalk with my creations! What a first for doing it for the sewers to showcase their own garments! @sewingbee.bsky.social #sewingbee

I will definitely be nervous for this challenge for sure! I will need to draft out my own patterns first, then have to actually do the toile & to get it right of course. I will be more comfortable for myself because I am working more on myself for garment making! #sewingbee @sewingbee.bsky.social 🪡🧵

Well done Anna for the hat bag! Both challenges won! Whoop whoop! @sewingbee.bsky.social #SewingBee #GBSB

I will have to watch the beginning later on, so I can see what the contestants are like. Also, I need to know more about them on @sewingbee.bsky.social Come on Adele, Rebecca for #Pride baby! 🏳️‍🌈 #sewingbee #gbsb #transformation

Very impressive with the aprons into bags! @sewingbee.bsky.social It looks so well done! Hope that it will look so good! 👝🎒💼👛👜🧳 #SewingBee #transformation #challenge #sewing #GBSB

@sewingbee.bsky.social BBQ aprons into a bag function! That would be interesting for sure! What a limitation for the very first episode of the #sewingbee #series12

I will have to watch on catch-up for the introduction! Well done Anna! 👏🏻 worth winning for the first pattern challenge! 🩳 @sewingbee.bsky.social #sewingbee

Very interesting shorts! 🩳 very interesting! I thought it was 9pm! Oops! Anna is great so far! @sewingbee.bsky.social #SewingBee

Happy @sewingbee.bsky.social day everyone! I hope that this year’s series will be better. Even though it’s not a lot of guys, but on the other hand, hopefully it’s better because I know when things are not right. It’s in my guts. I just hope that they will not bury the series! #SewingBee 🪡🧵

Tonight at 7pm my play Sebastian gets its premiere as part of a @paralleledlines.co.uk scratch night. Excited and nervous - it only occurred to me last night it could be disastrous! Will be taking notes whatever. Come and tell me what you think. NB I’m not in it. app.lineupnow.com/event/scract...

Honestly rate yourself •Looks: 4/10 I do get some compliments from others •Creativity: 35/10 Definitely more because I love creating own things! •Humour: 3/10 I am not good at it even bantering is cruel. I don’t really get the jokes of things unless they were explained to me! Please be gentle!

6 weeks in! I cannot really thank #ThrivingNottingham for helping to lose weight on my fitness journey especially one day to go on @gladiatorstv.bsky.social in the very future! Now, I am actually understanding about dieting now as well as setting portions for food! 🏳️‍🌈💪🏻🏋🏻🏃🏻‍♂️💨 #Gladiators #Fitness #Diet

My short play, Sebastian, is getting its first ever full performance on Monday 13th at 7pm as part of the @paralleledlines.co.uk Scratch Night at @breadrosestheatre.bsky.social in Clapham. Do come if you can. Or wish me luck if you can’t. app.lineupnow.com/event/scract...

I’m approaching 59 years old and I have been living with HIV since I was 30. With access to treatment, HIV need be no barrier to health, happiness or a long life. Plus treatment means there is NO RISK of me passing HIV on to sexual partners. HIV has changed, tell everyone.

Pride the musical - based on the movie about Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners - is a triumph. It’s witty, political and profoundly moving. I doubt anyone failed to shed a tear at some point. At the end the whole audience leapt to their feet with an enthusiastic, and deserved, standing ovation.

As trans rights are eroded in the UK, as local councils under Reform control distance themselves from Pride and our communities, and as we see increasing levels of hate and scorn directed towards LGBTQ people online, such solidarity and strength are needed now.

But Pride isn’t just sunshine and sequins, Pride is a demonstration of our solidarity and strength. This year the UK was ranked 22nd in Europe for LGBTQ rights. We used to be at the top of the league but recent years have brought reverses in trans rights and in the support we used to enjoy.

Everyone marched back then. The crowds were bemused, sometimes hostile, only occasionally supportive - which would win them cheers from the marchers. This year more than a million people marched or lined the streets to cheer us on.

This year is the 40th anniversary of my first Pride march. In 1986 there were about 6,000 people on the march - which was still more LGBTQ people than I’d ever seen gathered together, stronger than I’d dared imagine.

Super gay!

About to set off! Happy Pride London - and everywhere. #Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I saw the Pride flags on Regent’s Street and am gay now.

In 1991 Madonna overrode the objections of the studio (and the dancers) to insist the kiss between Gabriel and Slam remained in the Truth or Dare / In Bed with Madonna documentary. The kiss was sexy, campy and accepted, groundbreaking for a time scarred by AIDS and homophobia.

As Pride Month ends and on the eve of Pride in London, what better time to take in Pride - a new musical about Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.

Hello July Month for #NottsPride! My @skircle.me at the start of the month! Inner Circle: @matthewhodson.bsky.social 🏳️‍🌈😘😍❤️💋 @wvfg.bsky.social @unrealmale.bsky.social @g-crackerz.bsky.social @mikegild.bsky.social @nakedgods.bsky.social @bmcc2.bsky.social @alex4nd3r.bsky.social #BlueSky #Skircle

Re. Queer. 1. If you’re NOT likely to be called it you don’t get to decide whether or not it’s offensive. 2. If you ARE likely to be called it (or have been) you can choose whether to embrace or reject it, but you don’t get to choose for all others who may also get called it.

It was a blast for finishing #PrideMonth today! Thank you Shell & Lucy for the #LGBTQ+ History Walk, @transpridenotts.bsky.social, opening of #RainbowQuarter in #Nottingham, also, thank you #ThrivingNottingham that I have lost 2kg this month! Wonderful achievements! #NottsPride is NEXT! 🏳️‍🌈🫡🌈🏳️‍⚧️See you!

Today is the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising.

This 58 year old is living with HIV. Why do I mention either my age or HIV status? Because I’m expected to conceal both - and that only contributes to ageism and HIV stigma. Happy Pride!

I have been given this from a great sewing classmate. I am going to keep this special card in my heart! It really means a lot to me when others are so grateful to me as well as making them feel good about themselves too! Don’t let government take our creative courses away! #sewing #sewingclasses

I really do NOT like Michael Rapaport how the way he says things to Colton Underwood! I feel so bad for the handsome Colton! 🏳️‍🌈 I do love Colton! He’s so handsome & so want to kiss & cuddle him too! #USTraitors #TheTraitors #TraitorsUS #USATraitors #TraitorsUSA #GetMichaelOut

People do NEED to actually leave Colton Underwood ALONE! I will not be happy when Colton potentially to be banished or upcoming murder! Please do not vote Colton off! Bullies NEED to actually to step the ***k off from him! I do love Colton! 🌈🏳️‍🌈 #USTraitors #USATraitors #TraitorsUSA #TraitorsUS

How lucky am I to be a great big queer! Me and Dr Helen Webberley talk trans rights and queer joy. Happy Pride Month!

The Official GRAND OPENING of the Nottingham Rainbow Quarter today at 17:00-19:00 BST (5pm-7pm) 🌈🏳️‍🌈 #Nottingham #RainbowQuarter #NottinghamRainbowQuarter #Hockley #Nottinghamshire #NottinghamCityCentre

Flying Pride flags or putting up posters costs councils virtually nothing but sends out a powerful message that LGBTQ+ communities are welcome and valued. Newly elected Reform Councils across England are now withdrawing even this small support. Our rights would not be safe with a Reform Government.

I have bought my very first book of @cjdebarra.bsky.social they are amazing! I cannot thank them enough for covering the #Nottingham #Queer history! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈⚧️ I cannot wait to read their book! I am still reading the #NeuroQueer book! It is worth getting! Thank you CJ & also to Shell & Lucy for the walk!🚶🏻‍♂️
