The far-right have called their protest when they know LGBTQ+ and Palestine marches are approved in Belfast. This is precisely how fascism operates in service of the very worst of state policy.

It's #LesbianVisibilityWeek. The Supreme Court doesn't get to define who I am, what I can do with my body or who I can love.
Lesbianism is liberation & there is no liberation without trans women. British courts ≠ justice. Trans women are women, trans lesbians are lesbians. #UppaQueers
