This is one of the most profound images of queer history for me.

These are punters of a gay bar at 25 Fitzroy Square, London, after a police raid in 1927.

Names/pseudonyms written above their heads.

Look at the facial expressions: Fear, boredom, defiance, shame. #LGBTHM23

As a gay man, I’m proud of the liberal law reform the #LGBT community - and our straight allies - have secured in my lifetime.

#Scotland is now one of the most progressive countries in the world.

However, these changes are not irreversible.

The UK Government’s ‘Don’t Die of Ignorance’ #AIDS campaign was launched in 1986, more than 4 years after the death of Terry Higgins.
‘So long as AIDS remained merely ‘a bug that kills faggots’ it was of no interest to Government or Fleet Street.’

Morning Twitter ;)

Who is excited? #pride23 #LGBTHM23

Day 7 of #LGBTHM23 : A unique #Antinous type! This ancient bust of Hadrian, unknown until its discovery in 1995, displays Antinous, rather than a traditional Gorgoneion, at the centre of his cuirass. Bizarrely Marguerite Yourcenar wrote of Antinous’ ‘Medusa-like curls’ in 1951! 🌈

Great to spend few days in Cardiff with colleagues from across the regions at the Senior Leaders event. Good to hear priorities of the service & focus on Wellbeing. Took the opportunity whilst there to go see Cardiff castle lit up in the colours of the rainbow to mark #LGBTHM23

'LGBT+ History Month matters more than ever before. Not as a source of celebration, but of challenge. The challenge of solidarity - of resistence to those shameful attempts to divide, to set one group against another.' - Maggie Chapman MSP on #LGBTHM23

Excited to launch Wales' LGBTQ+ Action plan as part of our Co-operation Agreement with Welsh Gov today. We've worked with communities across the LGBTQ+ spectrum to ensure that this plan puts us on the right path to becoming the most friendly LGBTQ+ nation in Europe 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #LGBTHM23

As LGBT+ History Month draws to a close, we reflect on the progress that has been made in advancing LGBT+ rights and also talk about your Labour Council are doing to fight for equality in our city. #LGBTHM23

It's LGBT+ History Month in the UK:
Today we celebrate trans man Alan L. Hart (1890 - 1962) was a physician, radiologist, tuberculosis researcher, writer, and novelist. #LGBTHM23

Your annual reminder on #LGBTplusHM that asexuals have always been here! History abounds with ace-coded myths and fairy tales, as well as intriguing accounts of “spiritual virgins”, people who thought they were made of glass, and historical 3rd genders. #LGBTHM23

We’re flying the #LGBT flag at Police Headquarters to show our support for #LGBT HistoryMonth
It's our aim to ensure that #CIJersey is a safe space for the LGBT+ community and #statesofjerseypolice is a champion for diversity in the workplace #LGBT HM23 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

'We need to make sure we recognise the successes and progress that we've made, but not pretend that progress came easily.'

Maggie Chapman MSP discussed how much further Scotland has to go in order to be truly inclusive following the members debate to mark the end of #lgbthm23

“If you can see it, You can be it”

Representation and allies are key for LGBTQ+ people to accept, be confident and happy about who they are. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Although there are nearly as many bi and pan people in England and Wales as gay and lesbian, their contribution to the history of the LGBTQ+ community has often been forgotten and erased. 💗💜💙

To mark #LGBT HM23 , we're looking back at our legislative #LGBT + history.

🌈 As part of LGBT History Month, we celebrate the progress made over the years and recognise that our timeline could never be the whole picture.

It's #LGBTHM23 and today we're peeping back at PrEP17 - a documentary by Nicholas Feustel with PrEPster.

In 2017/18 we travelled the country, hosting events, helping people to know more about PrEP and the activism behind it.
