Don't let straight people tell you not to "make being gay your personality." Straight people base their entire lives around dating, flings and marriage. They consistently allow gender and sexuality to influence their friendships & personal relationships.

If we apologized to children more, we would have more adults that accept accountability for their actions.

Greater Manchester Police have issued an appeal for information after a suspected arson attack on the home of an Imam in Bolton last night. Footage shows a masked man throwing a lit object through a front window. The Patel family were safely evacuated by emergency services and no one was injured. Police said they believe the incident was targeted and are investigating. In a statement, Hassan Patel said the attack has caused "significant damage to our house and emotional distress to our family, including our children.”

They're not protesting about an attempted murder. They're using an attempted murder as an excuse for racist mayhem.

More than 100 MPs have now signed the motion I tabled alongside colleagues to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. This motion is currently the only available mechanism by which MPs can reject the EHRC’s Code of Practice; if debated and passed within the 40-day scrutiny window, it would prevent the EHRC from issuing the Code and bringing it into force. This is unfortunately unlikely, but it is important that as many MPs as possible sign the motion. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240 if they haven’t already. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-…

Yesterday, I questioned the Chair of the EHRC about the new Code of Practice, and the harm it poses to trans people and others who do not conform to gender stereotypes. The Code suggests employees of a business or a service should enforce restrictions based on evidence such as “the individual’s physique or physical appearance, behaviour or concerns raised by other service users.” When asked to specify what these would be, the Chair couldn't answer and instead spoke about “common sense”. The truth is that people would be relying on gender stereotypes, which are harmful not only for trans people but for others as well.

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
The rioters have set a house on fire in Belfast.

Ah yes — the only indicator of equality is not being imprisoned by the state. All the other indicators like discrimination in the workplace, hates crimes, abuse, conversion therapy.. are just footnotes. Thanks for clearing that up.🙃
Replying to @Number10cat
No, the law that has existed for quite a few years now tells people that. No one has been imprisoned in this country for their sexuality for many years. And it is illegal for employers to discriminate against people for their sexuality. So their post is simply stating that they obey the law. Which we knew already.

Just respect other people’s wishes for how they want to be referred to. It’s not hard. One of the things we British are supposed to be renowned for is good manners. #Pronouns #LGBT #NonBinary #Language #TheyThem

Kanya King - who founded the Mobo Awards which celebrate Black British music - has died at the age of 57. Her family said it followed a "courageous and characteristically determined battle" with colon cancer. In a statement - they said the creation of the Mobo awards was an "act of cultural justice" which had demonstrated the power of Black music to a world which had too often chosen not to see it.

Utterly wild assertion. Badenoch suggests this shows we’ve somehow “over-corrected”. It doesn’t. That’s a complete misdiagnosis. Correlation ≠ causation. This doesn’t show excessive tolerance. It shows the underlying problems people have been raising remain unresolved.
I don’t want to hear about Black Lives Matter. I don’t want to hear about White Lives Matter. Everyone matters. Henry Nowak matters.
