A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state last night at the order of Ron DeSantis. The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016 — the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.

Thatcher’s Right to Buy was a disaster, she gave council homes to greedy landlords and rich tossers at a fraction of their worth. Taxpayers have lost nearly £200 billion, social housing’s a joke, and we’re still stuck cleaning up her selfish mess decades later. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

“Imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group” is one of the steps of genocide.

Just a reminder - everything they’re doing to Trans people, they did that before. progressive.org/op-eds/long-...

The story of this trans man has been reported widely with misgendering, other than in the prisoner press outlet The View. Please join this action. Let them know we won't forget him and demand urgent action is taken to prevent further harm.

"The EHRC's guidance is subject to legal challenge – a hearing is scheduled for later this year. Given the evident hostility of the guidance to the rights and dignities of trans people we are confident the Commission will lose." www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

“Trans people still have human rights protections in this country, and at Good Law Project, we plan to defend them.” Read our full update on today’s decision for a two-day hearing in November in our challenge against the EHRC’s transphobic guidance: goodlaw.social/z5bw

It is one year today since this genius gave us the most hilarious demonstration of Karma ever.

What a surprise that for gender criticals their bigotry and hate doesn’t just start and stop at transphobia.

Today is Trans Pride London. If you can’t make it, and you are a cis woman who is fed up with transphobic restrictions being imposed on a marginalized community in your name, please consider signing and sharing this petition www.change.org/p/not-in-our...

Today, we remember and celebrate Janey Godley.

The Stop Trump Coalition has called a 'mass demonstration' for Wednesday 17 September, the first day of Donald Trump's state visit to the UK The protest will assemble at London's Embankment at 2pm and march to a rally at 5pm (location tbc)

We will today issue proceedings against the Equality Commission, Northern Ireland. It might be, for reasons we explain, that this becomes *the* case in the fightback against the ideology of For Some Women Scotland. goodlaw.social/t9nb

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police. Thank you, Wes Streeting.

“From Moscow to Washington, Brussels to Budapest, money is doing the heavy lifting in reshaping laws, policies, and public norms around gender, sexuality, and reproductive rights” - and the UK has emerged as a leading funder. www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...

A far right government put "Gender Critical" people in charge of the EHRC - making it a single issue anti trans hate group and destroying its national and international reputation Labour have decided they want even more of that and are going to appoint another GC. Unless we make enough noise

Needless to say Britain, whose transphobia under Labour is more extreme even than Trump's on some measures, did not sign either. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Do it!!! Whoever you are. Even if you only write three sentences. If you care about trans human rights - do it.

Ms Creasy, you might want to have a read of this; yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/home-af...; I have also emailed it to my MP Dr Sullivan. Warning, it gets really dark really fast.

It would be good to see some MPs or committees get a grip of the EHRC, Stella. Their are quite obvious concerns there re:LGBT rights and the government doesn't seem interested in the slightest in asking any difficult questions here

Sacre Bleu! According to the BBC absolutely nothing happened in Westminster hall today, hundreds of Trans people definitely did not undertake a mass lobby and MPs certainly didn't hear from their constituents about why the EHRC is a liability. Meanwhile in France... www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Not pointing the finger especially at you @bbcdomc.bsky.social - and I deplore any personal abuse towards you - but you are the home and legal correspondent and it would be great to have a response from the BBC which talks a lot about the need to win trust.

BREAKING: the EHRC has formally abandoned its contention that employers need to provide single sex toilets. goodlaw.social/4npg

With the legal situation & EHRC interim guidance changing daily surely a key argument is: How can we have a consultation when the guidance keeps changing? With so many legal challenges, how could it be made statutory guidance, if multiple legal rulings override it before it can even be rolled out?

We served our claim form on the EHRC yesterday and it has just changed its interim statement. Snip one is what its statement was. Snip two is what its statement now is. *They now accept there is no need for employers to provide single sex toilets.*

Make sure you turn up to the Mass Lobby tomorrow - 1-4pm.

If you plan to visit the US, don't. It is not safe to visit the US and you face being randomly detained, kidnapped, beaten, and / or killed by the regime. It's not worth the trip. Stay home.

The UK Parliament has declared its own trans bathroom ban, caving to activists who accosted a trans barrister. Originally said they were awaiting EHRC code of practice, but have now capitulated to bullying. Looks targeted given the trans Mass Lobby this week. goodlawproject.org/parliament-s...

Open letter calling for an inquiry into the EHRC. I’ve just signed. organise.network/actions/peti...

There are many areas where Labour has already abandoned its 2024 Manifesto commitments. But on the protection of the dignity of trans people Labour has done exactly the opposite of what it promised.

In thirty years time there will be a trans quilt and we won't be able to say that it was a disease that killed so many because we will know it was hatred and indifference.

Good Law Project are supporting Trans+ Solidarity Alliance in their Mass Lobby on the 25th June (1-4pm) - taking place inside Parliament. Don't worry if you don't hear from your MP, come along anyway, and TSA will try and arrange you a meeting! Share this widely!! Steps and links below:

If Labour wanted to reverse the chaos, the cruelty, and the policy-led law making of the Supreme Court in For Some Women Scotland, this is how easy it would be for the Secretary of State. No need for primary legislation.

If the UK government wants to defend Israel militarily, put it to a vote in Parliament. Let the country see which MPs support a genocidal state.

Hearing this from quite a few people in Reform UK-controlled councils. From a local reader: "There are rumours as in other Reform UK controlled councils that a number of those elected stood to ‘make up numbers’ & never thought they would be elected & now don’t feel able to commit the time required"

For anyone to claim the EHRC is independent is farcical when Kemi Badenoch admitted she ensured the right people were in place and Falkner confirmed yesterday they changed the board to pursue this "course correction".

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion. Please email your MP and ask them to support Stella Creasy's amendment to decriminalise abortion; we've made it so easy for you. action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis...

A President of the United States is going to the theater tonight in the midst of what is shaping up to be a civil war I will have no further comment at this time

If you don’t think Reform are being directly aided and abetted by the British press, then ask yourself this: why has a question asked by a Reform MP at PMQs, about banning the burka, been front and centre in discussions on the BBC, LBC and Sky News for over a week?

3 UK newspapers report the same story

So grim to see in numbers

It’s the immigrants in LA fighting back against authoritarianism. Jesus, America. Do these people have to do ALL the hard jobs you don’t want to do yourself?

Our friends at @transsolidarity.bsky.social are organising a mass lobby of MPs for 25 June 2025. We have built a tool to generate an email so you can tell your MP what you think about the Supreme Court's policy making and ask them where they stand. goodlaw.social/34f8da

On a (hopefully) brighter note - I won an award for creating a radio show where lgbtq people have space to speak their truth and where divisive and hateful anti-gay and trans rhetoric is challenged. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
