We're here to bring LGBT+ friendly groups together & spread awareness across North Northants.
We aim to make NN a place for all LGBT+ people to feel at home.

Happy first day of July
Just because Pride month is over it doesn't mean the work stops.
Next up: looking at lobbying for more punitive measures for homophones online

[North Northants LGBT+ forum @NN_LGBT]

Let's make it clear
If you're in the public view, as a Councillor for example, you take ownership of your actions and words.
Very much is your problem if what you say is homophobic

If you're a National Trust member please vote against this blatantly homophobic proposal from a small group of bigots who want to drag us back to worse times 🏳️‍🌈

At this time of national sadness and mourning we would pass on our love and thoughts to everyone the Queen left behind.
She was a stable entity for so many of us for so many years, the one consistency in a changing world.
Monarchist or not today is a day to support one another.

And extra special thankyou to those who came and painted some amazing pieces of art.
I hope you put them up somewhere for all to see

Such a shame to hear these comments about our Trans community today

Have you, or anyone you know, been targeted by any malicious comments or threats recently since the topic of Trans people in sport made its way into mainstream media?

Fancy a walk? Inviting someone to join you for a walk can help them feel less lonely - and could help you to feel less lonely too. Find out how you can lift someone out of loneliness👉https://t.co/YGf3X6qEyW #EveryMindMatters

Fancy a chat? Checking in with a family member or friend can help them feel less lonely - and it could lift you up too. Find out how you can help lift someone out of loneliness👉https://t.co/YGf3X6qEyW #EveryMindMatters

It’s important to remember that these feelings can pass and that there are lots of ways we can help each other too. Fancy a cuppa? Fancy a walk? Sometimes reaching out to each other with as little as three words can make a big difference @DCMS #EveryMindMatters #loneliness

[North Northants LGBT+ forum @NN_LGBT]

As part of the Better Health: Every Mind Matters campaign, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport are encouraging people to ‘Lift Someone Out of Loneliness’ by taking a simple action to help someone who may be feeling lonely.

[North Northants LGBT+ forum @NN_LGBT]

If we do this regularly, we can all help to lift each other up. Feeling lonely is something that all of us can experience at any point and it can have a huge impact on our wellbeing.

[North Northants LGBT+ forum @NN_LGBT]

@NNorthantsC And growing the list all the time.
If you know of a group we've missed out, let us know so we can make sure everyone has fair access to support, social, and community groups

Happy IDAHOBIT everyone!
The international day against homophobia, biphobia, transphobia is a day to celebrate diversity, & raise awareness of discrimination we still face.
This year's theme is our bodies, our lives, our rights. So make some noise, have fun, & show your support.

Last week we wrote to the North Northants MPs asking them to hold the Prime Minister to his promise of a ban on harmful conversion practices for Trans people.
