Just a cis-male (he/him), LGBTQIA+ ally and father-of-4 navigating life, one mental health crisis at a time. Passionate about music, football and politics. Love getting outdoors with my dog (and cat) and exploring new ideas!
These shows were my childhood.

Next I recommend the animated version of Belle and Sebastian. Found the intro on YT:

A bit too warm for me...

...I now has the sunburn. 🥵

Wait! There was a counter-protest today?

Couldn't say I saw much of one.

But yeah, amazing turnout in the Big Smoke. Lots of positivity and powerful speeches.

Important question: What kinda cheese are you having?

Me,I'd go with a nice camembert even though it stinks the refrigerator out with the smell of old feet everytime I open the door but it's so good on a cracker!

If you can, come along and lend your voice.

Together we can support the marginalised and harassed individuals in our communities.

Nice one #DUP

Trying to hijack an anti-homophobia motion by adding on EVEN MORE homophobia.

What's next? Let's support Black History week by showing up at Stormont in black-face?

Their bigotry is overwhelming and they are losing all relevance as a political party.

You know what, here you go:

#BrianKingston (DUP - East L'Derry)

#MauriceBradley (DUP - North Belfast

These are the two idiots in question. If you live in either of these constituencies, give them a call, e-mail or letter and tell them what you think.

Or just call your own local DUP office.

My blood is boiling that these bigots are trying to hijack a motion like this in order to raise EVEN MORE homophobia.

Fuck them.

At least @gerrycarroll.bsky.social is on our side wanting to raise the issue of waiting lists in our gender clinic and other stalled legislation

Big up to Gerry & #PBP

So, this Saturday (17th May) is #InternationalDayAgainstHomophobiaTransphobiaAndBiphobia

In recognition of this, #Alliance have raised a motion in the #NIAssembly to acknowledge the event.

However #DUP wanted to add an amendment that recognises and accepts the #UKSupremeCourt ruling on gender.

I've decided the only thing to do would be place an FOI request with the BBC to find out more about their media enquiry and who responded to it.

It's posted up on #WhatDoTheyKnow so any response will be publicly available to everyone.

Fingers crossed.
Media Enquiry to public bodies in Northern Ireland regarding the UK Supreme Court ruling on the definition of gender - a Freedom of Information request to British Broadcasting Corporation
I was curious as to why the only response from a Northern Irish public body to be broadcast regarding the recent UK Supreme Court ruling on the definition of gender issued on 16 April 2025 in the case...

Its fair to say there is a solid Republican representation in the council and both #SinnFein and #SDLP are strong supporters of LGBT rights so it seems out of place that their statement would prove to be so highly controversial.

... that discriminate against anyone, especially transgender individuals."

The council will await guidance from the #EqualityCommisionNI which should be issued in June. And then it will be put to the council to determine how the guidance will be implemented.

Alison formally "apologised for any hurt or distress due to the reporting of the council's response."

She confirmed that "no decision had been taken by the council" and that it would be "directly contrary to the council's equality statement to implement procedures or policies...
May 6, 2025 at 7:24 PM
She then reiterated the councils "commitment to equality and diversity policies" and that "council policies could only be set by council members."

Noeleen then passed back to the Chief Executive of FODC, #AlisonMcCullagh who confirmed that the council had responded to a media enquiry.
May 6, 2025 at 7:24 PM
We heard from #CllrNoeleenHayes (Sinn Fèin) who is FODC's Diversity Ambassador.

Firstly she expressed her "deep regret for any hurt and fear caused to the #LGBTQIA+ community" following the report that was broadcast by the BBC's Nolan Show.

Okay, so I'd like to convey my thanks to the council of Fermanagh and Omagh for prioritising this issue in their meeting tonight. It was the second point following from messages of remembrance for Pope Francis.

And everyone can follow the council meeting through their YouTube channel.

Meeting goes live at 19:00
