Happy Humanist. Tweets are just my opinion and retweets are not necessarily endorsements.

"If you're... in enormous pain, all this talk of sanctity of your life is a sort of mockery"

Broadcaster Prue Leith, who says her brother "was begging to be allowed to die" says her stance on assisted dying comes from his "horrible death"

We've worked closely with Jayne as our longstanding campaign to #banconversiontherapy has picked up steam in recent years.

She is a great religious advocate for a change which humanists have long wanted to see! https://t.co/ywU0UGwv1r

Why does the Census say most people are Christian, when other surveys (such as the British Social Attitudes Survey) say 52% are not religious? @andrewcopson explains! #TickNoReligion #Census2021

If you'd be interested in training to become a humanist school speaker and supporting young people's understanding of humanism, we're running or next online course on 14 Nov. Our training has been awarded the OCN Quality Mark. https://t.co/EDueTdXuHl

Breaking: In response to our campaigning and public outcry, the Government has said that humanist weddings in England can be for up to 15 people (not just 6), putting them back on par with religious and civil ceremonies.

This takes effect immediately.

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

The claimants are currently considering whether to appeal the judgment on the narrow point of whether the present marriage law review justifies not issuing a Declaration of Incompatibility to the effect that current discriminatory marriage law breaches their Article 14 rights.

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

Thanks to this judgment, it is now a matter of 'when' and not 'if' humanist marriages will be legally recognised. The Government has committed to a process beginning with a consultation in September. It must work to remedy the discrimination that has been found by the court.

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

As morally vindicating as it is for our couples to have their complaints validated by the court, we are disappointed that a speedier remedy has not been issued. That said, the options for the Government have been narrowed: it 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 take steps to legalise humanist marriage.

[BBC Leeds @BBCLeeds]

Bradford humanist celebrant Janice Thornton on the High Court bid to get legal recognition for humanist weddings in England and Wales.

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

Fantastic coverage of our #humanistmarriage legal case on @bbcsoutheast, underpinned by these statistics:

* 7% Brits identify as humanists
* There are already more humanist weddings in E&W than many religious ceremony types
* Humanist ceremonies most popular option in Scotland

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

We are bowled over by the show of support we've had since we announced our #humanistmarriage case yesterday. Emails, messages, comments, retweets galore, and lots and lots of new members all wishing power to our elbow. Greatly appreciated by us, our celebrants, and our couples 🥰
