Unsurprisingly, LGBTQ+ staff more likely to leave the NHS after Tory 'gender ideology' crackdown

17th May is #IDAHOBIT , a day intended to raise awareness of ongoing violence and discrimination against #LGBTQ + people worldwide. Today is a great day to listen to the concerns of LGBTQ+ friends and colleagues, and to help spread awareness of the stigma they continue to face. 1/2

Section 28 attempted to ban discussion of homosexuality in schools - but even in a pre-social media era, that did not stop children from learning that homosexuality existed.
It only meant that teachers were unable to provide information or any support.

School run today.

Know that there are allies who are parents, uncles, aunts, family, chosen family, friends, colleagues & more. You have a future that includes love & acceptance despite the rhetoric of today.

#IDAHOBIT2024

Today is International Day to End Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia 🏳️‍🌈

There's no justification for denying any person’s human rights based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

This week it seems very relevant in the UK. Please help us move forwards 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
#IDAHOBIT

Marshalling our supplies after discovering an anti-trans conference is being held nearby tomorrow. Never fear, rainbow colleagues and patients; #NZWIM24 will represent. Because intersectional feminism. 🤗❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💪

🌎 This #IDAHOBLIT , we're looking at where we are for LGBTQ+ rights in the UK.

📊 New ILGA-Europe rankings released this week show the UK is stalling on progress compared to its neighbours.

What does this mean for LGBTQ+ people’s lives, and how can we get back on track?

[1/7]

Today is #IDAHOBIT , and we are thinking of all the healthcare workers & patients who have experienced prejudice for their identities.

GLADD will always continue to fight against this hatred and aim to make healthcare as safe as possible for LGBTQ+ folks to work & receive care in

And now the UK government has banned rainbow lanyards in the civil service.

Existing, as LGBTQ+ professionals, is not a political act. LGBTQ+ people have always existed and always will. No amount of bans, censorship, and red tape will change that.

Greta McLachlan ✒ Greta, thank you for this post. I'm sorry so many haters have found this. As a med student, thank you for fighting this. It is so incredibly important to create a safe space for LGBTQ+ patients (Also, I NEED that rainbow pin, in looove <3)

Newly acquired lanyard

*Top tip*

If your work place actually bans rainbow lanyards (or badges or socks or whatever), your work place is not a safe place

Best not to work there
