The Gender Recognition Act came into effect 17 years ago today. Its astonishing that after all that time 100+ LGBTQ+ organisations had to unite through boycott to remind the UK Government that they have a duty to protect trans and non-binary people.

- Belfast City Hall has been lit up tonite to mark this significant day for LGBTQIA rights in NI.
- In preparation for our 25th Birthday we have been scanning the archives and looking at our history. Have a look at this doozy from 1999 #poofery 🤣
- A ban on conversion therapy that is not LGBTQIA+ inclusive is not a real ban on conversion therapy. #Trans and #nonbinary people should be protected from the dangerous practice. #BanConversionTherapy #endtheharm #bantheshame
- Five years ago today, the lives of 49 LGBTQ+ people were cut short by violence in #PulseNightclub, Orlando. Today, we remember them. We must work together to not let hate win and to keep dancing to the music of life. ♥️ pic.x.com/561CCsXqmO
- A statement from director of The Rainbow Project, John O'Doherty on the murder of our friend and sister @LyraMcKee
- Morning folks. We have arrived at work this morning to find our offices broken into. It is a week and a half until Belfast Pride week and this is not what we need. We rise up, we continue. rainbow-project.org/donate @williamcrawley
- Yesterday’s statements from the @EHRC are an unwelcome and unwarranted attack on Trans equality. We believe that these two statements (one in response to the call for a ban on conversion therapy and the Gender Recognition Act in Scotland)
- This is very sad news. We are sure that there will be many hundreds of LGBT Presbyterians across the island who will be feeling particularly hurt by this decision and we will always be here to support them unconditionally 👭👫👬🏳️🌈💗Presbyterian Church in Ireland votes against allowing people in same-sex relationships to become full members, @BBCMarkSimpson reports: bbc.in/2sH4Ya3
- A brief statement addressing the disgusting comments made by @duponline councillor John Carson. We expect immediate action from @DUPleader
- .@TRPNI are saddened to hear of the passing of Sinead O’Connor. She was a supporter of LGBTQIA+ community in Ireland - from speaking up about HIV in the 90s or donating clothes and make up to support transgender youth. Rest in power.
- We have been made aware of transphobic stickers being put up around #Belfast. Please take a pic & report this directly to ourselves. Try to remove them safely but use a tool to do so. As we have been aware of razor blades being placed behind them. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
