Lies and distortions, devised or amplified by an unchecked media, the hostility of the police, Church and faith leaders, ignorance, fear of AIDS and a Government keen to gain political capital by pandering to homophobia led to Section 28. It reflected society in the 80s. It was a vote winner. 7/16

“As a gay man I don’t support trans people because it’s about my own rights… but it is also about my own rights.” Me speaking with @www.helenwebberley.com about trans rights and being an ally.

Section 28 was passed on this day in 1988. It didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% of people thought homosexuality was wrong. It came from a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of lesbian or gay lives. 🧵 1/16

“If you hear someone being transphobic, call it out. If you hear someone misgendering someone, call it out.” Me talking with @www.helenwebberley.com.

It’s much harder to hate or fear what you know. Simply by existing visibly, as a gay man or as someone living with HIV or as a trans person, we challenge stigma and hatred.

I’m not trans but the hostile legal and social environment facing trans people mirrors that experienced by me and other gay men in the 1980s. I struggle to understand those who lived through that era who don’t feel the parallels and the need now to stand with trans people. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

You can’t teach kids to be gay. You can teach kids that it’s ok to be gay. Seeing LGBTQ+ people represented (on TV, in classrooms, in every walk of life) can make self acceptance easier and faster. More and happier LGBTQ people aren’t a problem - we’re a blessing! 16/16

I apologise for underpricing him. Farage charged £87 to say, “Up the RA!” Which begs the question, what would he say for £5m?

There is unconfirmed information that Russia launched not 1, but 2 'Oreshnik' missiles at Ukraine, but the second one struck occupied territory near Avdiivka or Yasynuvata - eRadar. If true, these idiots spent an unbelievable amount of money to strike themselves and garages in Bila Tserkva.
