I think right now whole we try and figure things out it's important that trans+ people feel seen and supported by our whole community #lgbtq

[LGBT HERO @lgbthero]

After the UK government’s guidance on single sex spaces, it's important that trans people and LGBTQ+ communities come together, support one another and make sure nobody faces this alone.

The guidance around trans people and single-sex spaces is going to leave a lot of people feeling anxious, upset, angry and uncertain about what comes next. Right now, it’s important that trans people and our wider LGBTQ+ community do not retreat into isolation or feel like you have to carry this on your own. 

Community matters now more than ever.

Look after each other.

• Check in on your friends.
• Support people who are struggling.
• Build each other up.
• Make sure nobody is left alone with their fear, anger or anxiety.

Protect yourself and protect one another.

LGBTQ+ communities have always survived difficult moments through solidarity, visibility and community care. This moment is no different. Over the coming weeks there will be a huge amount of debate online and many organisations, workplaces and services will still be trying to understand what today’s guidance means in practice.

We would encourage people to take care of themselves, avoid spiralling online where possible and focus on staying connected to supportive people and spaces. If you need support, please reach out.

Well done, Bulgaria 🇧🇬. That was tense

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Britain is now only just above Russia and Hungary on trans rights.

We are below Armenia, Romania, Kosovo, Turkey, Serbia and Belarus.

The anti-trans movement has, for now, won a decisive victory in Britain.

It will not last.

This historic injustice will be rectified.

[Melanie C NEWS (fan account) @MelanieCNews]

I'll just leave this here :

" @MelanieCmusic keeps rewriting the record books for Spice Girls solo careers with her new album Sweat.

Despite narrowly missing out on becoming her third UK #1 album overall after Spice (1996) and Spiceworld (1997) with the Spice Girls, Sweat debuted at an incredible #3 on the UK Official Albums Chart with 19,483 sales - the highest sales total for a #3 album in the last 35 weeks(!!!).

The album dominated multiple charts in its debut week:
• #1 Official Record Store Chart
• #2 Official Albums Sales Chart
• #2 Official Physical Albums Chart
• #2 Official Vinyl Albums Chart
• #2 Official Album Downloads Chart
• #2 Official Independent Albums Chart
• #2 Official Scottish Albums Chart
• #3 Official Albums Chart

At 52 years old, Melanie C has now achieved the highest-charting solo album by any Spice Girl, surpassing the #4 peaks of her own legendary debut Northern Star (1999), Geri Halliwell’s Schizophonic (1999), and Emma Bunton’s A Girl Like Me (2001).

Sweat also becomes Melanie C’s ninth straight Top 75 solo album, meaning every single one of her studio albums has charted - a level of consistency unmatched by the other Spice Girls combined.

While her biggest opening week remains Reason in 2003 with 30,866 copies sold, Melanie’s iconic debut Northern Star is still her defining commercial success, having now surpassed 900,317 UK units and achieved triple platinum status earlier this year. That makes it the best-selling solo Spice Girl album ever, far ahead of Schizophonic on 490,819 units.

More than two decades after launching her solo career, Melanie C continues to deliver one of the most stable, respected and successful post-group careers in British pop history."

Bravo red girl!!! 👏🎶

If you’re a younger LGBTQ+ person, you may not have an accepted form of photo Voter ID. You may also struggle to have access to documents like birth certificates or passports which you need when applying for other forms of photo Voter ID...

Actor Josh Duhamel: “Just because you have a platform doesn't mean you get to preach to everybody.”

Megyn Kelly: “Ahh, thank you! Tell that to the Oscars.”

Josh Duhamel: “I spend a lot of time in the Midwest, so I get to see what they actually think about us, and they’re not afraid to tell me.”

“About 10 years ago… [a buddy] meets me at the airport with a t-shirt that says, ‘Nobody cares what actors think.’ And I was like, ‘D*mn that’s really funny. That’s really good.’”

“That has always stuck with me because it’s true.”

@Dustin_Cone Take everything from them, make them live in a two bedroom house. Hit them financially. Putting either behind bars helps no one,
