Today we wrote to the UN Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity alongside 16 other LGBTI+ equality & human rights organisations to raise concerns about the human rights of trans people right now in the UK since the Supreme Court judgment & the EHRC’s proposed Code of Practice.

What do LGBT+ people really think about alcohol marketing and Pride sponsorships? In our latest blog, David Barbour reflects on a new @alcoholfocus.bsky.social report on LGBT+ views - and asks whether it's time to rethink the alcohol industry’s role in queer spaces. www.ias.org.uk/2025/07/01/f...

NEW Report 📃 #CommunityNotACommodity explores how alcohol marketing affects #LGBT+ people in Scotland, and how the industry’s presence in LGBT+ spaces and events, particularly #Pride, is being perceived by the community itself. www.alcohol-focus-sc...#CommunityNotACommodity#LGBT+#Pride,#PrideMonth

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia #IDAHOBIT #LGBT people experience greater levels of alcohol harm, in part due to experiences of #LGBTphobia Alcohol services should endeavour to be LGBT aware, inclusive and acceptable

The legal definition of a woman in the UK now excludes trans people after a Supreme Court ruling defined sex as 'biological sex' This is everything you need to know about the ruling 👇 Reporting by @jessothomson.co.uk 🧵🏳️‍⚧️

Remember to step away from the news as much as you want or need to today - and let's make sure to look after one another. 🏳️‍⚧️💖

We hope that anyone feeling scared or sad about today's #SupremeCourt judgement is able to reach out to someone today. You can contact the #LGBTHelpline in Scotland on 0800 464 7000

Today and every day

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️‍⚧️

FWS have won their case against the Scottish Government. We will be reading the judgement as quickly as possible so we can properly understand what the Court has decided today.

🎉 Have you got a story, protest, event or local work that deserves to be in the news? We’re tired of hearing that local positive and grassroots queer news isn’t of interest to the media. So we're working with @lgbtconsortium.bsky.social to fix that 👇
