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

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

“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.

Cat in a tree timeline cleanse.

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.

Every time I see Margaret Thatcher trending I think of the misery she inflicted on generations of #LGBTQ+ children through the cruelty of Section 28. You can’t teach children to be gay. You can teach them that it’s ok if they are.

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

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

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

Hannah Spencer’s victory in Gorton and Denton was such an extraordinary moment — I was in tears when the result was announced. Zack Polanski’s leadership is bringing real energy and momentum to the Greens, and I’m confident we’ll see that reflected in the upcoming local elections.

Vermont's Journey: Oregon is on track to be the fist state to transition to universal health care, but we are far from the first or only state to make this attempt. Between 2011 and 2014, Vermont made an amazing attempt, but ultimately did not succeed. In Oregon, we must consider the lessons.
