Thank you so much to all my amazing friends at @belfastpride for the goodies, & especially to @LynnMillar63 (❤️U) for delivering them. Really enjoyed the chat, have to admit I shed a few tears reading the card. Miss you all so much, the message on the bag says it all. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Pain's pretty bad tonight, can't sleep, so of course having a play with some art effects, and @MattBomer is the perfect subject.

Great day supporting @PSNILGBT in their Pride parade with @LGBTpoliceuk. A great atmosphere in a beautiful city filled with love.

1/2 Been trying to keep up with #BelfastPride on twitter, looks like a really successful parade, saw that it took an hour to pass. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎉🎉🎉. Wish I could have been there, but remembering last year, very different!

2/2 Hope the Party goes really well, will never forget 2019, those great youngsters with all their energy, and I was falling off my feet! #BelfastPride is a family, love and miss you all. Happy Pride!!

@ConlethKane @MattBomer Thanks Conleth, unfortunately the cancer is untreatable at this stage, so months rather than years, but doing not too bad atm. Just absolutely no energy, but have Matt's new series, Echoes, to look forward to, that's keeping me going. Missing pride tho.

Tomorrow is the 1st in person #BelfastPride since 2019, and I'd give a lot to be there. Had an amazing Pride last time, including this great event with @MattBomer playing over the speakers, (that's me at the side of the boat). Miss everybody so much, Happy Pride! #cancersucks

Delighted to see that Alison Bailey - founder of the sinister ‘LGB Alliance’ has lost her legal case against #LGBT champions @stonewalluk She crowdfunded vast sums for her legal action - money which could have been spent on worthwhile causes.

Just something for the timeline - there are millions more examples of how we've grown up with drag. Been around it as kids, had it on light entertainment all our lives. This faux panic is nothing but dressed up fascism.

If anyone ever asks why we adore @MattBomer this tweet is great evidence. No mention of his own contribution, just praise for everyone else. So different to the ego shown by other celebs, Matt is truly an inspiration. Just a lovely man, ❤️ him.

Getting full on Cal from #walking out vibes. Damn, #MattBomer looks good in denim and a cowboy hat. Can't wait for 19th August.

@AllyPhifer Happy Birthday

@irene_rando @SWolfsohn And here too.

Watched @actupny on Instagram Live from the UK, and it's wonderful to see that old fighting spirit is still there. And it's sad that it has to be, the community deserves better. Just like Aids and Covid, the reaction to monkeypox is too little, too late worldwide.

Those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it.

I don't think anyone who lived in Belfast 50 yrs ago will ever forget #BloodyFriday. Remember the feeling of panic, we didn't know where the next bomb would go off, went to our caravan in Millisle to get out of the city. Dad's friend Tommy Killops was killed. And all for what?

Here's a petition started with @AllOut that could really change things for LGBT+ people. Add your name to join the fight for LGBT+ rights! 🌈 https://t.co/nybmHSO7c2

Breaking News: The House passed a bill that would recognize same-sex marriages at the federal level and repeal the Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as between a man and woman, amid fears that the Supreme Court could nullify marriage equality. https://t.co/W9WUJsYHrb
