Fighting homophobia in all its forms - advocating for the interests of homosexual males

[Gay Men’s Network @MensNetwork1]

1/ We welcome the Secretary of State's sensible, evidence-based decision today to ban puberty blockers, 80-90% of the youths at gender clinics are same sex attracted so this is a gay rights issue, as is a proposed study into these drugs which we oppose.

4/ We will be observing the Federal Court proceedings tomorrow closely and we will continue to offer our uncompromising and total support to lesbians and gay men in Australia fighting for association rights.

[Gay Men’s Network @MensNetwork1]

1/ Lesbians in Australia cannot hold lesbian only events because the Federal Sex Discrimination Act 1984 was amended to include "gender identity" so now any lesbian only meeting is deemed discrimination against heterosexual men who say they are lesbians.

This is homophobic.

[Lesbian Action Group @ActiveLesbians]

We are fighting @AusHumanRights for the rights of lesbians to freely associate without the mandated presence of men who say they are lesbians. Please support in this fight and donate to our fighting fund for our Federal Court hearing in February 2026:

3/ It is a homophobic disgrace that the LAG are fighting their own human rights commission for the right to hold lesbian only events. And it is a disgrace the Australian Human Rights Commission are seeking costs should they win in order to cripple grassroots lesbian activism.

Well done to all who signed @JamesEsses' petition, and *thank you* to every Parliamentarian who signed my cross party letter. And enormous kudos to @KBtheYoungOG and campaigners like @Transgendertrd @genspect @AllianceLGB @WomensRightsNet @SexMattersOrg who all fought this 💜

[LGB Alliance @AllianceLGB]

We hope that this proves the first step towards cancelling altogether what was clearly an activist-driven trial./2

We are enormously relieved that the Department of Health & Social Care has heeded the numerous well-argued concerns from the healthcare regulator, clinicians and other concerned parties and paused the ill-conceived Pathways puberty blockers trial./1 https://t.co/d9ld5Yox9l

🚨Breaking🚨

The government has paused the puberty blockers trial.

This is a huge victory but now we must compel them to abandon it completely. This poison must never enter another child’s body.

To everyone who signed my petition and supported our judicial review, thank you!

[Gay Men’s Network @MensNetwork1]

8/ A puberty blocker trial is not inevitable, and we urge the government to think again. No child who has their puberty blocked can ever get it back or get back years they regret as an adult. It is time to do the right thing and end this live experiment on gay/lesbian youth,

1/ We welcome the decision to pause the UK Government's puberty blockers trial following the intervention of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency over concerns around the wellbeing of the children and teenagers.

7/ We call upon the Government to look again at this issue. Puberty is a human right and in the vast majority of cases at gender clinics, it is the cure for the distress young people are presenting with, often with encouragement or pressure by others to so present.

One of our Directors, Dennis, has his say.

1/ This is an important demonstration. GMN will be joining the LGB Alliance and others to make the point that Gay teens are not sick. They do not need medical correction. Puberty blockers (as the Secretary of State said when banning them) are dangerous and experimenting is wrong.
