Clear your diary Brighton! We’ve got plans. #brightonandhove #transpride

The @consortium.lgbt says LGBTQ+ charities in the UK are now operating in a “hostile environment" amid a growing crisis of underinvestment and the ripple effects of Trump-era attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights.

👀 What is it with Pride CEOs? 🚮

My suspicion is that the Trans community and allies left Twitter and arrived here early but it’s still worth re-upping this for those who left it a little longer: go.bsky.app/N6Qai5F

We sent a formal complaint to the BBC over its repeated misgendering of trans people and use of terms like “biological male”. We’ve also written to the Women and Equalities Committee, DCMS, and the Minister for Women and Equalities. Now we need community action. 📢We now need your help! 1/3

The government seems to think 'protecting democracy' means protecting themselves from having to hear it... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/12/civil-society-groups-condemn-dangerous-plans-police-powers-ban-protests-england-wales

Today, we will be starting off 2026 by attending what might be the first protest for trans rights of the year. GATE (Guiders Against Trans Exclusion)'s Birmingham protest against Girlguiding's ban on trans girls will begin at 12:00 noon. Come back to the thread closer to the time for updates.

No one can deny the hard-line transphobic and homophobic ideology of the “Christian” Institute.

Trans lives matter, and public bodies need to be held accountable ✊ 6/6

We will be reporting on this protest today. Watch this thread at 12 as that will be when the protest is scheduled to start.

Just a reminder with the holidays coming up that you don’t owe your family that visit. You owe yourself being safe and happy. You can get support from lgbt.foundation And you can always call the Samaritans: ☎️ 116 123

We’re reaching out to local LGBT charities to see how we can support fundraising with the collapse of Pride. If there’s anyone in the #McrGayVillage Business Association who could reach out or someone can put us in touch we’d like to talk and coordinate ♥️

Girl Guiding and the Women’s Institute have announced that they will now exclude trans women and girls after legal threats – but organisations can and should remain inclusive: https://goodlaw.social/cpfx

As it’s coming to the end of #TransgenderAwarenessWeek it seems a good time to restate that we support our trans siblings. In 2021 we had 1500 people in the streets of Manchester shouting trans rights are human rights. Same for the protest in 2026. 🏳️‍⚧️

We have a notice in with the police about a protest for August bank holiday weekend 2026 to replace the parade that Manchester Pride held. A protest for lgbt+ rights in the UK and around the world. Following discussions with them we’ll be able to give details here.

Manchester Pride has gone under owing £1.3 million to artists x.com/mennewsdesk/...

We got you!

We did it in 2021 and others have organised protests as well. The community is very capable of organising a pride protest without Manchester Pride and without corporate sponsors. We’ll need your help and support for a massive turnout in 2026!

Reckless spending, gambling on major events and dozens of irate artists and suppliers waiting to be paid. @manchestermill.bsky.social has the inside story of what’s gone wrong at Manchester Pride. manchestermill.co.uk/bad-bets-how...

Maybe now Manchester Pride can go back to being a celebration of queerness and not a three-day music festival in a car park

It’s almost like the entire community warned them 🤷‍♂️

Oh hi! We’re here as well now as that other social media place got nasty 😬 We are working to regroup and be back for 2026. News to follow over the coming weeks. The community is taking back the parade from Manchester Pride and it will be a protest. Please follow and share here too!
