We live in a country where a former refugee can be DOCTOR WHO. That make me proud to be British.

“Paul O'Grady's former home gets rainbow plaque” "Visibility like this matters. We've already seen attacks on our rights and the joy of the rainbow plaque project is it brings our community together to remind them of our shared history." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Despite bans imposed in Beyoğlu and Kadıköy, LGBTI+ people gathered for the 24th Istanbul Pride March and took to the streets chanting, ‘We are out, loud, and proud.’ Police attacked the march and detained at least 65 people, including journalists.” #IstanbulPride kaosgl1.org/en/single-ne...

“LGBTQ+ people continue to reel from stigma spread by 16 years of rightwing populist government, says organiser” #Hungary “…for many people, it makes clear that standing up for the rights of the community is in fact about the freedom of all of us.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

We all need to resist attempts like this to politicise Henry Nowak’s death and divide our country - whether they come from MAGA politicians like Vance or their cronies here in the UK.

So happy to see this lovely #PrideMonth highlight: our Kurdish Queer Studies special issue from 2023!

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance or do enough to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is not compatible with longstanding British values. @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk and @MarieCGoldman.bsky.social have written to Bridget Phillipson. ⬇️

We were honoured to host the great Prof Kimberlé Crenshaw this week to launch her memoir BACKTALKER. Kimberlé called LSE Gender her third home, and this event felt like a homecoming in may ways. Thank you to Kimberlé, Clare, @aikoiiris.bsky.social and @hsw.bsky.social for making it happen 💘

Istanbul Bilgi University, my alma mater. This is really heartbreaking to see. Huge respect and solidarity to those who stand against this injustice - one of many! bianet.org/haber/severa...

“This is why they’ve gone after critical race theory, because critical race theory says… discrimination, exclusion can happen in any number of ways that are presumably race-neutral”. Thrilled of course, that Professor Crenshaw is coming to @lsegender.bsky.social to launch her new book ‘Backtalker’!
