"It’s clear the fight for LGBTQ+ equality must go on - and I’m determined that Liberal Democrats remain at the forefront of that fight. That includes pushing the Government to ensure the recent Supreme Court ruling doesn’t lead to a roll back of trans rights." Ed Davey
Pride Month 2025
So we will keep fighting - until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.

On International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, I want to say to the LGBT+ community:
I hear you, I get it, I stand with you, and the Liberal Democrats will never stop fighting to build a country and a world where you are truly free to be who you are.

"A very british biggotry" has added one of our biggest political allies to its list out of ideological purity. Can someone recommend a sensible blocklist that gets ride of the TERFs without getting rid of the man who wrote the legislation that ended section 28 thanks

Ten years ago, the UK was the best in Europe. Now under Starmer's Labour, we've fallen to 22nd.
Of the last five Prime Ministers we've had, the best on LGBT+ rights was *checks notes* Theresa May.
This decline is a badge of shame, and that includes for our party. We *must* reverse this fall.

Tapping the sign: @eddavey.libdems.org.uk is a better ally in the face of a ridiculously transphobic media trying to score gotchas than almost any other politician. Excluding the Lib Dems from pride because a fringe group that the party consistently refuses to legitimize is fundamentally stupid.

Voters in England have the chance to send a similar message on Thursday, by electing Liberal Democrat local champions to stand up for their communities against the hate-fuelled politics of Donald Trump and his bootlicker Nigel Farage.

I'm terribly sorry, but the actual ruling allows for both trans women and trans men to be excluded, using sex-essentialism for women and referring to "male characteristics" for men.
Consistency is not a goal, the goal is to empower cis people to harass and exclude trans people. They don't care.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Far from being feminist, assuming people are 'male until proven otherwise' is about as patriarchal as you can get.
This Labour government is monstrous. Performative cruelty in a red tie is as bad as performative cruelty in a blue one. Worse, as they led us to expect better. 🥀

Allegations swirl around a recent Shaper list that appears to never make a run or have any practical use for a single card. Asked to account for their budgeted 45 credits of expenditures over the next 10 turns, the Shaper pilot only said, "Installables."

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.
They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.
I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Personally willing to teach any single person of a marginalized gender who would have benefited from the VML program the card game Netrunner, which is run by a non profit largely staffed by queers, and also happens to be the best card game ever made! Fuck WOTC
We are sad to announce that we have been told by Wizards that they will no longer support us with either funding or invites to Organized Play events.
Without this support - especially the invites - it is impossible for us to continue, and there will be no more VML seasons going forward.

Tories: do evil shit because they believe that evil shit is the right thing to do
Labour: do evil shit while wringing their hands and saying they're really sorry but they HAVE to because THE EXPERT told them to and THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION
Practical difference to those on the receiving end? None.

It's amazing to read a report like this and see that the majority of experts they consulted did not support the ban, stated very clear reasons why the ban was harmful, and yet they were ignored in favour of known hate groups.
The Labour Government has confirmed they invited numerous known hate groups and pro-conversion orgs to give evidence for their closed consultation on the puberty blocker ban, including Bayeswater Support, LGB Alliance, CAN-SG, Transgender Trend and Sex Matters.
Never let them forget this choice.
