This is a total disgrace. The US blocking a Palestinian leader from attending a UN meeting in New York is yet another act of silencing. But nothing will erase the genocide being committed in Palestine. 🕊️ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdym32z9v7o
Meet the Ugandan LGBTQIA+ activist bringing visibility in a time of crisis 🌍🏳️🌈 At a moment when homophobia is rising, she is carving out space for hope and resilience. Find out how she is standing tall, challenging hate, and inspiring others. 💪✨
Right and yet these same religious bigots would be screaming blue murder if workplaces banned employees from wearing jewellery or other iconography associated with their religion. How is that *not* indoctrination but displaying inclusivity is?
If rainbow lanyards amount to LGBT indoctrination why doesnt wearing religious regalia do the same?
Cool. In that case, crucifix jewellery amounts to Christian indoctrination. Which violates the legally protected right to non belief. Or we could all just calm down and tolerate each other's differences.
Protest is the lifeblood of democracy ✊ What happened in Berlin is a disgrace. An Irish activist, standing for Palestine, was punched in the face twice by police. This sort of brutality should never be tolerated anywhere. 🚫👮♂️

The Christian Institute says rainbow lanyards, pronouns in emails or going to Pride parades breach Civil Service impartiality. The article notes the legal action "follows a recent High Court win against Northumbria Police by a gender-critical activist." We said they weren't just after us trans folk.
A Lithuanian court has finally recognised same-sex relationships. It has recognised LGBT+ couples as a family👩❤️💋👩👨❤️👨. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/08/same-couple-gets-state-recognition-in-historic-lithuanian-court-ruling/
💔 We condemn Israel's attack on Nasser Hospital as "a premeditated strike on medics and journalists." Cruel "double-tap" strikes target those rushing to save lives. It is calculated to maximise loss. How utterly debased this is. 🚨🕊️

Pride lanyards infuriate Christian homophobes 🏳️🌈 A UK Christian group is taking legal action claiming that wearing rainbow Pride lanyards at work amounts to ‘LGBT+ indoctrination.’ https://www.evangelical-times.org/landmark-case-will-challenge-civil-service-gay-pride-support/
🌈 A gay Mauritian couple just celebrated their civil partnership in the UK, a joyful moment, but also a reminder that equality is still denied to them back home. Love knows no borders, and equality must not either. ❤️✊
😱 Nigel Farage wants to abolish the Human Rights Act, the law that guarantees 16 fundamental protections for everyone in the UK. How can anyone even consider tearing away rights that protect all of us? ⚖️💔
Afghan women are at the frontline of resistance against the brutal Taliban regime ✊🏽💜 Despite relentless repression, they continue to organise secret schools for girls and take to the streets in protest. Their courage is nothing short of revolutionary 🌹📚

📢 Israel has closed down or left unresolved 88% of alleged war crimes or abuse cases, according to a new report. The monitoring group warns that this is building a pattern of impunity, shielding violence from accountability and denying justice to victims. ⚖️
🔥 It’s more than just a “hint of hypocrisy” when we stay silent on some abuses while shouting about others. Human rights violations must be condemned everywhere, in #Ukraine, #Russia, #Gaza, #SriLanka, no excuses. Human rights are universal ✊. Video credit: UKfactcheckpolitics
📢 The government must not strip asylum rights from international students. For many LGBTQI+ 🏳️🌈, being forced back could mean violence or even death. https://www.attitude.co.uk/news/trump-administration-46-states-remove-transgender-resources-492792/

🌍 Israel is facing global condemnation after the strike on a Gaza hospital that left devastating civilian casualties. Hospitals should never be targets. This is a clear violation of international law and humanity itself. 🕊️
Police are investigating a possible homophobic motive after the bodies of four men were discovered in the River Seine near Paris. If confirmed, this is yet another reminder of the deadly cost of hate. 🕊️🏳️🌈

⚠️ Disturbing scenes from Aceh. Two young men were publicly flogged under the so-called “Islamic Criminal Code” for consensual sex. A horrifying reminder of the institutionalised stigma and abuse LGBTQ+ people face in Indonesia.

✊ If we support Palestinians, we must also oppose ALL their oppressors. True solidarity means defending human rights for both Palestinians & Israelis. No justice for one without justice for all.
