Ten years ago the first same sex marriages took place. There can be few changes in the law that have brought so much happiness to so many people. The role Lynne Featherstone and I played at the different stages is covered here stephenwilliamsmp.wordpress.com/2019/02/28/fir…

Today is #TransDayofVisibility! 🏳️‍⚧️ With hate against trans people on the rise, it can be hard to find space to celebrate the joys of visibility. This #TDOV, we're reflecting on the value of visibility and how it can transform the lives of our loved ones 👇   Learn more about

I was pleased to share my experiences with the LGA on being a councillor for #TransDayOfVisibility, but it's also very sad to see both myself and Cllr Hill have to acknowledge the hostility that's come with it.

The Cass Review final report is due this week. Our youth groups and support line for adults are here for support, listening, and advice: genderedintelligence.co.uk/services If you're struggling and need to talk to someone, you can contact switchboard.lgbt, 10am to 10pm every day.

70% of trans people face transphobia when accessing general health services. People need to be able to access vital gender-affirming healthcare. Yet the Conservatives are intent on using their lives to fuel a culture war and create even more barriers to life-saving services.

As Chair of LGBT+ Lib Dems 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🔶 I'd like to say a massive well done to all our successful LGBT+ candidates over the last couple of days and thanks to everyone who worked so hard to get LGBT+ People elected- whether you won or not your visibility and representation of our community matters!

As we mark Yom HaShoah, we take time to remember the millions of Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. We recommit to fighting antisemitism and standing up against hatred and division.

Discrimination against LGBT+ people is still far too commonplace - particularly against the trans community. LGBT+ rights must not be taken for granted. The fight for equality goes on. #IDAHOBIT 🏳️‍🌈❤️💜💙🏳️‍⚧️

If trans and wider LGBTQ+ rights are important to you (as a member of the community yourself or as an ally), your vote is safe with the Liberal Democrats LGBT+ Lib Dems 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🔶 🏳️‍⚧️

While Labour continue to flip-flop and throw our trans communities under the bus, we have been unapologetically clear in our stance. We will always stand by our trans siblings and champion trans rights and equality. #LiberalAndProud 🏳️‍⚧️

This is the main reason LDs have my vote in the next election. They’re the only major political party in my area that have been unequivocally clear on queer & trans rights, and the best socially liberal option for me

Where do the Lib Dems stand on trans rights? In favour of them, as this piece shows

Love being reminded of that glorious moment outside parliament just after same sex marriage became law. A great day.

Your yearly reminder that pride isn’t just a time to celebrate who we are and what we’ve become; But a protest. LGBTQ+ lives are in danger in the UK, and we can’t let organisations pink wash themselves this June.
