Thanks SAYiT for inviting me to your 'International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) event. Loved chatting with our Lord Mayor, Jayne Dunn & her son Thomas, about work we do to ensure we have an equitable team of 'Experts by Experience'

Every LGBTQ+ person I have ever encountered who grew up under Section 28 has a long list of horror stories about their time at school.

Isolation, fear, bullying, physical assault…

To inflict this on another generation of young people would be an act of unconscionable cruelty.

Should schools teach about gender identity?

The government says they shouldn’t, but 60-61% of people say sex education should teach that people can be transgender or non-binary (including 66-67% of parents)

🌎 This , 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?

Yep. I'm 42 this year, so for almost all my school & college life, Section 28 was in effect. It didn't stop me from being bisexual.

It just caused a lot of bullying, severe confusion & not knowing who I was or why I felt the way I did. It did not help my mental health.
