🙌 Here’s to more LGBT+ spaces like The Common Press. Sign us up when you open your next shop in the North! 😉

Arigato #Tokyo2020. We all needed to see the world come together and to witness humans at their best. Now to the #Paralympics!

If you can please support Manchester's VLBA supporting LGBT Foundation & George House Trust - this is OUR Community coming together XxX TARGET 100K gofund.me/c932bab6

There is currently no research on the impact of proposed voter ID requirements on LGBTQ+ people in the UK. It’s vital we all have the ability to participate in democracy. 🗳️ Tell us about your experience accessing and using ID in just 7 mins 👇 LGBT Foundation bit.ly/LGBTQSurveyID

It’s time for us to start the final season of #pose so our hero of the day is Michaela Jaé (Mj). We’re so sad to leave Blanca behind but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that MJ makes history again & deservedly becomes the first transgender performer to win an Emmy for Best Actress.

Switchboard is a safe space to talk 🏳️‍🌈 We are here to listen from 10am to 10pm, 365 days a year ☎️📱💻 💬#safespace

Our hero of the day is MAISIE, Britain's Oldest Drag Artiste. Happy 88th birthday. It’s so important to document, respect and preserve the experiences of our older LGBT+ community and it’s vital that we support them in older age. #dragrace #silverpride

Today our heroes of the day have to be The HALO Trust, AKDN Afghanistan , Mercy Corps, Oxfam International, UNICEF, MSF Afghanistan, War Child UK, Rory Stewart and The Turquoise Mountain Trust. If you are able to offer support in any way. #Afghanistan crowdfunder.co.uk/afghanistanapp…

Our hero of the day is Steven Canals. There are some tv shows that are so unique, brave & relevant that they change culture. There are some stories & characters that are so relatable, honest & poignant that they change the people watching. #PoseFX will be remembered as that show.

Our hero of the day is @itslaurenrowles MBE, one of our greatest paralympic athletes & a role model for the LGBT+ community. Cheer on Lauren & her crewmate Laurence Whiteley on Sunday as they row their hearts out to stay reigning Paralympic champions. 🏅🏅#ImpossibleToIgnore

This #Pride weekend, there will be donation buckets in the Village if you'd like to support the work of LGBT Foundation & George House Trust. Or you can donate online: uk.gofundme.com/f/target-100k Huge thanks to all the VBA Manchester businesses and to everyone who has supported so far!

A huge shout out to all the NHS staff who are working this bank holiday. Today our NHS heroes are spending time away from your families to look after other people’s loved ones. Retweet to thank them and let them know they are appreciated 💙

Our song of the day is STARSTRUCK (feat traitor joe) - Silk Chiffon. We don’t have the words for how much we love this bold & brilliant song/video. What an absolute breath of queer fresh air!

A moment to change it all. Such power in this Tango from John and Johannes Johannes Radebe #Strictly

Our heroes today are John Whaite & Johannes Radebe. Their breathtaking same-sex tango broke the mould & stole the show on prime time tv. In doing so, they’ve changed the world for the better, particularly for young LGBT+ viewers. This is why representation matters. 🙌 #strictly.

Our hero of the day is sex education. Television changes and save lives because it’s accessible and it reaches the masses. This scene lasted a matter of moments but explained HIV better than any sex education most people have ever formally received in real life.

We all loved (& sometimes hated) Twitter but it allowed people to talk, listen & stand together in a new & powerful way. If we’ve all learnt anything from what this was, I hope it’s that we can disagree & still be kind but that there is also a time to walk away. #RIPTwitter
