    Hey @gmail and other providers, because there is the word “lesbian” in European LESBIAN conference, our emails are considered like porn and go to spam. Please make this stop. Lesbians face enough invisibilisation because of male and hetersexist gaze not to add this one.

    Lyra McKee, lesbian activist and journalist, was killed yesterday. We are sending all our love to her partner Sara Canning. We are asking the media not to erase her lesbian identity. Thanks Lyra for your fabulous and so brave work and advocacy, we will not forget you.

    Italian lesbian mothers are loosing their parental rights as a direct result of the far-right politics of the gov't headed by Giorgia Meloni. EL*C issued an open letter to Meloni tinyurl.com/mry728j9 Support Italian lesbians & tell the far-right that #LesbiansAreMothersToo

    “LGBT go away” signs and windows broken last night at the venue of the European Lesbian* Conference in Kyiv, Ukraine. We will not be frightened. The conference will start tomorrow with hundreds of incredible lesbian activists coming from 40 countries. #lesbiangenius

    Haters broke windows and wrote homophobic threats at the hotel in #Kyiv where @EuroLesbianCon 🏳️‍🌈 will be taking place April 12-14. Intimidation and fear are used as tactics. A sign of how desperate the haters are. We are following the situation.
