We’re now on BlueSky! Search for Equality Amplified to find us. We’re not leaving X just yet, this is still an important battleground space to keep fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, freedoms, and voices. But now, we’re spreading the message there too! #LGBTQfamily
Even though yesterday was #IDAHOBIT, everyday is a day to fight against homophobia, biphobia, intersexism, and transphobia. Every single one of us has the power and responsibility to challenge bigotry and stand up for equality. 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈 #LGBTQ+ #Solidarity

Streeting says he’s “genuinely sorry” for the fear caused by the puberty blocker ban, yet he still backed it. This isn’t allyship, it’s calculated harm. Ignoring trans voices & siding with far-right narratives, his apology means nothing! https://t.co/ohF81YPadx

Thank you @oliviarosebarb for featuring us in your @LeftFootFwd article on Trump’s attack on LGBTQ+ rights.
Trump cannot legislate people out of existence, but his rhetoric encourages bigotry, justifies harmful policies & emboldens acts of prejudice.

Thanks @itssophieperry for featuring us in your article on Meta removing our post about their Hateful Conduct Policy. Meta is endangering LGBTQ+, women, & minorities by enabling hate. Silencing our concerns shows they don't care about "free speech." https://t.co/EuRUn0nsvS
Despite appealing the removal of our post, Meta have confirmed that they will not be restoring our letter condemning their Hateful Conduct policy change.
This is a clear attempt to silence critics & those who will be impacted by the anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric allowed by this change.
In response to our letter, Meta have removed our post on Facebook citing breaches of Cybersecurity.
Changes to Hatful Conduct policies that they say are to foster free speech, but silence those who try to discuss the harmful impacts of such policies.
Their objectives are clear

leaving young cisgender individuals unaffected, underscores the ideological motivations of Mr Streeting.
We strongly urge the government to rethink this overtly transphobic decision, which will have harmful consequences for young trans individuals who deserve
