Hey friends, we are hoping to start up Peer Support Group again in a month or two and we need some facilitators! We are looking for three or four individuals who want to help support our LGBTQ+ community with online and in-person meetings at the Pride House.

#NationalComingOutDay
Coming out is a process.
For me that process truly began when Section 28 was passing into law.
Gay men and lesbians were told that we were ‘less than’, that our relationships were pretend.
I needed to stand up.
So I came out.
And never looked back.
Me on a Stop the Clause (aka Section 28) protest in Leeds in 1987.

This moment is bigger than just Jimmy Kimmel.

When the Trump administration attacks the freedom of the press, they're going after a central pillar of democracy and our right to hold the government accountable.

My article criticising Charlie Kirk's narrow definition of masculinity got 100 views overnight (I wrote it following his debates with Oxford and Cambridge students).

The reason why the article is now popular is unfortunate, because the subject (harmful social expectations placed on men) is the 1/2
Charlie Kirk’s Definition of Masculinity is Everything That’s Wrong With It
Charlie Kirk was recently in Britain and given free reign to spout whatever nonsense came into his head.

Matt's got a fantastic explainer on how demi attraction works here. I learned a lot!
thegreyrainbow.bsky.social The Grey Rainbow @thegreyrainbow.bsky.social · Jul 4
Demisexuality means that attraction develops from emotional connection.

In this article I explain what that actually means because it seems not everyone grasps it.

Demisexuality is an emotion based orientation. In this article I explain what that actually means in real terms.
