It's International #LesbianDay (8th October) and we hope that if you're a lesbian you're having a great day. Trans lesbians are lesbians. No amount of shouting about that from anyone can change that.

The Green surge continues ... We’ve just passed 90,000 members! 💚 People everywhere are joining the movement for real change. Want hope to be normal again? Join the Green Party today ↩️

Green Party Conference recently passed some amazing healthcare policy for the trans community. It commits us to an informed consent model of trans healthcare, a trans-led public inquiry into NHS care, a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy, and so much more.

The @transgreens.bsky.social and ourselves have revamped our Teemill website where the #ElectTheDolls t-shirts that we had at conference are now on sale. Do check it out: lgbtiqagreens.teemill.com

C03 "Reforming Trans Healthcare" brought by Cade Hatton, has been UNANIMOUSLY passed by conference. There were 5 votes against.

An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. A brief statement in solidarity with Liberal Democrat councillor Chris Northwood @chrisn.xyz

There is no LGBTIQA+ without the B, and today we celebrate bisexuality on this Celebrate Bisexuality Day. We must take a stand against biphobia in all forms.

Francesco Piscitelli responded to our pledges - they scored a 10/10. See more: lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

I think that's everything for now, I just updated our pledge overview page. Going to use the remaining characters of this post to remind everyone of our Leadership hustings this Wednesday! lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-hustings/

We got two respondents for Local Party Support, up from zero. Thanks Rosie and Hannah for responding! Still waiting on Nicole Haydock for Local Party Support. Responses are now live: lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

We've added Faaiz Hasan & Nicola Day's responses to our website (they're standing for Elections): lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

Good evening! It's election time, and we're looking to get a whole bunch of late pledge responses up on our website. Starting with Vix Lowthion for Internal Comms: lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

Nicola Day and Faaiz Hasan responded and scored 10/10 with their answers. Capacity willing, will update the website with their answers, but thought we'd update you.

Good evening! Thanks to everyone that attended our LGBTIQA+ Greens' Deputy Leader Hustings this evening. After the hustings finished for Deputy Leader, we received @mothinali.bsky.social's opening statement, and we thought we'd post it, for balance and fairness!

CORRECTION: Vix Lowthion (Internal Comms Co-Ord) and Hannah Spencer (Local Party Support Co-Ord) responded to our pledges. We're a little busy in the "pledges team" right now as we're laser focussed on hustings, so no current update on the website, but both candidates scored 10/10.

Hannah responded to our pledges (albeit after publication) - we've updated the webpage to reflect this: lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

Trade Union Liaison Officer, and non-responders! Thanks for tuning in for our responses. It's been a lot of work and I hope that this helps demystify how candidates feel on LGBTIQA+ rights. Please see more about our hustings: lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-hustings/

Management and Publications! Many thanks to our respondents - @melanieearp.bsky.social and @dylanlewiscreser.co.uk for Management, and David Lloyd for Publications! lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

Our E&D Co-Ordinator pledges! Apologies about the delay on this one - we're following up with a candidate ticket about their pledge responses. Will update when we know more. lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

PDC and PD Co-Ordinator! We received responses from four of the eight candidates for the Policy Development Committee, and we received a response from Anne Gayfer. lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

External Comms, and International Co-Ordinator! We got a full slate for External Comms candidates, and only Fesl Reza-Khan didn't respond for International. lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

Campaigns and Elections! @haydnob.bsky.social was the only respondent from Campaigns, and @briancandeland.bsky.social was the only respondent for Elections. lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

Here's our Deputy Leader pledge responses. We received a response from every candidate except @mothinali.bsky.social. You can view their responses word-for-word at lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

Good morning! It's the day we release the results from our pledges. Firstly, for leadership, we pitted the responses from @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social against @zackpolanski.bsky.social. You can view every response word-for-word @ lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025-husting...

LGBTIQA+ pledges deadline! Thanks to the 28 candidates who have responded to our pledges. We will be publishing them all tomorrow. If you haven't yet responded, check your email and you have until the end of today to be included.

Section 28 was a dark period in the UK for LGBTIQA+ rights that did untold damage. Labour are bringing it back. We deserve better from a government that promised Change.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ LGBTIQA+ RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 We're asking candidates in the @greenparty.org.uk internal elections to pledge their support for our community. At a time when we're under attack, we need our LGBTIQA+ communities and our allies to stand in solidarity. Watch this space!

We’re reflecting on the roots of Pride: as a protest. When hate is on the rise, and attempts are being made to erase us from existence, we call on allies this Pride month to stand with us. And we will continue fighting for our liberation: there is no environmental justice without social justice.

ICYMI: Yesterday, we posted a statement on our website, written jointly with the @feministgreens.bsky.social Please take a look: lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2025/05/16/p...

Here’s a statement from our committee on this International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia. We must continue our fight for a fairer, greener society.

"The issues we need to tackle stem from the broken system of austerity, not from trans rights – which do not exist as a zero-sum game." Our Co-Chairs @mattrogan.bsky.social and @kathrynbristow.uk for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/tran...

🏳️‍⚧️✊

🏳️‍⚧️ Wishing a very happy #TransDayOfVisibility to all trans folks! ✊ We - the @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social greens - will continue to stand up for trans visibility and trans rights, just as we stand up for climate justice.

❌ Labour are failing us - they can't keep their promises. The @greenparty.org.uk would: ✅ Update the Gender Recognition act to allow legal recognition through self-ID ✅ Improve access to gender clinics & healthcare ✅ Remove the spousal veto

Allowing anti LGBT slurs to be broadcast without sanction, adds to a frightening homophobic and transphobic culture that is actively harmful. @goodlawproject.bsky.social have made it very easy to complain to Ofcom about GB News. 👇

This #LGBTPlusHistoryMonth the theme is activism, and who better to kick off with than Octavia Hill? An unapologetic lesbian, who co-founded the National Trust- celebrating its 130th anniversary this year. A passionate campaigner for housing and the rights of the working class.

BREAKING: A Statement calling for Wes Streeting to Resign. Signed by: Rainbow Greens LGBTQIA+ Greens LGBT+ Liberal Democrats Out For Independence Citing recent comments by Wes Streeting on the Bayswater group.

We're proud to support this statement, alongside other LGBTIQA+ groups. We've been been failed by successive governments: on banning conversion therapy, on access to trans healthcare, despite being promised change. #SackStreeting

Eloquent, fair and fighting for a more equal society. @zackpolanski.bsky.social and all elected members of the @greenparty.org.uk are working hard to improve the lives of the 99% Join the us for the real hope and real change we need 💚🌍💚 join.greenparty.org.uk/

Gaie Delap is the victim of a broken justice system: when profit-making companies cut corners to line their pockets, we all pay the price. It is beyond disappointing that the "reformers" in the Labour government won't take action here. I know @carladenyer.bsky.social will keep on fighting for Gaie.

Labour will kill your granny and cut off their winter fuel payments. But it won't dare tax a non dom. Entirely bought & paid for by the super rich.

Streeting accused of lack of transparency over puberty-blocker "trial" No wonder. It's a dog's breakfast of methodological impossibilities & multiple ethical violations. Research about trans people has long been disproportionately affected by ethical breaches www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The Government are planning to approve expansions in a desperate attempt to boost 'economic growth'. Four UK airport expansions including Heathrow would cancel out the carbon savings of Labour's clean energy plans in just five years. The Government must rethink.

When things seem a bit much,as they often do this century, I find making positive changes helps. Here’s a change you could make today, our voices are needed more than ever. join.greenparty.org.uk

Trump's election should mark a turning point for the UK - do we want to remain a US outpost on the outskirts of Europe, or chart a new course? Time for us to turn away from the White House and start working with those who share our values bylinetimes.com/2025/01/21/t...

It means so much to see a political party leader actually have trans people's backs for once. Three cheers for the Greens!

Rachel Reeves is expected to approve a third runway at Heathrow airport despite the fact it would wreck the country's climate ambitions and is highly unlikely to result in any GDP 'growth'. Brilliant...

"the sign of a civilised society is one in which we look after each other" - well said, @carladenyer.bsky.social. Get well soon 💚
