The UK is now ranked fourteenth on LGBTQ+ rights in Europe, having been ranked first in 2015. There is a trans moral panic. Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes are rising. We are still waiting for conversion practices to be banned. Three of the many reasons it’s #NotSafeToBeMe.

Horrified by the ongoing discussion around trans prisoners. There are only 15 trans prisoners in Scottish prisons. Isla Bryson and Tiffany Scott are unusual cases. This is similar to #Section28 in the 1980s, where an entire minority was misrepresented as predatory. #Section35

I currently take one tablet daily – the only reminder that I'm living with HIV. It keeps my viral load undetectable, meaning that I can't pass HIV on. I can expect a normal lifespan. The greatest challenge is stigma, due to a lack of knowledge. #HIVHasChanged #WorldAIDSDay

No LGBTQIA+ child should be outed to their parents by their teachers or school, including trans and non-binary children. Guidance for schools should allow children to come out on their own terms. Not undermine or potentially endanger them.

India Willoughby is an inspirational woman who speaks up for trans people and the LGBTQIA+ community generally. Says what she thinks. At a time when our rights are all increasingly threatened. The misgendering and abuse directed at her is disgusting. #WithTheT

We have “to get rid of this lie that somehow equality will diminish others and equality for trans people will diminish women – that is an absolute, categorical lie.” Privilege speaking to @mcashmancbe for @gaytimes! @stonewalluk gaytimes.co.uk/originals/mich…

.@stonewalluk was crucial in the resettlement of LGBTQ+ Afghans, is working tirelessly to #banconversiontherapy and is supporting the fight for LGBTQ+ fertility rights. And that's just 3 projects from the past 2 weeks! I am so grateful that #Stonewall advocates for LGBTQ+ people.

As Pride Month comes to a close, I want to emphasize the importance of uplifting LGBTQ+ voices all year round, particularly our trans siblings, migrants and asylum claimants, racially minoritised groups, as well as disabled people. There is strength in diversity. #PrideMonth

Thank you to @JessicaLBarnard for defending trans rights so articulately on Radio 4's Any Questions. The rights of many LGBTQ+ people are increasingly under threat in the UK. #bbcaq

“My identity as a cis lesbian is not diminished or erased by the existence of trans and non-binary people; in fact, it’s enhanced, because they’re a beautiful part of our community.” – @HannahB4LiviMP. @OutForIndy @gaytimes #WithTheT gaytimes.co.uk/originals/scot…

Today, 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with #HIV. I was 24. Medical approaches to HIV have changed. And so has my life. I am no longer a terrified patient, but an outspoken activist. I am on effective treatment, can expect a normal lifespan and #CantPassItOn. #HIVHasChanged

I unequivocally support Stonewall for all that they have done and continue to do for me as a gay man, but also because they stand for trans, LGBTQ+ and human rights broadly. None of us are equal until all of us are equal. And that means full equality for my trans siblings.
