We've been thinking long and hard about our future on X. We’ve had some good times over the years, publicising our support offer, speaking out with our fellow LGBT+ partner organisations and sharing our pride in our LGBT+ loved ones.

But nothing lasts forever …

@IanSollom It was brilliant to see you there Ian - thank you for making the time for us 🙏

You can still find us on Facebook and Instagram and we've also joined Bluesky so if you're not already following us there come and say hello @fflaguk

So we've decided that X is no longer the right place for us to reach the people we need to reach or achieve the things we need to achieve. We won't be posting on X but will continue to shout loudly and speak up for LGBT+ people and their allies as much as we can everywhere else.

Today is known as #BlueMonday, often considered the most challenging day of the year. It's the perfect time to check in on your mental health and the well-being of those around you.

Grab a cup of tea or coffee, take a moment to breathe, and remember you’re not alone.💙

It’s important to offer your support, understanding, and acceptance when a loved one comes out to you. You play a key role in helping them feel safe and loved during this journey. 🌟
