- Lesbians assemble! Without men with certificates! The Supreme Court has interpreted "sex" in the Equality Act to mean "biological sex" and not "certificated sex". We are SO proud we were able to intervene in this important case along with @ScotLesbians and @AllianceLGB
- We at The Lesbian Project are delighted to have Martina Navratilova @Martina as our patron. In the @Telegraph today: find out more about our vision for this new organisation for lesbians.
- Today we are absolutely delighted to announce the launch of our new organisation for lesbians - The Lesbian Project. Find out more about who we are, what we stand for, and what we plan to do, on our website here: thelesbianproject.co.uk

- THANK YOU to all the wonderful lesbians that attended our inaugural event yesterday. We loved meeting you, starting productive conversations, and having a lot of fun. Thanks to our brilliant speakers too. The tribute act outside couldn't stop us! 😃 We're just getting started.
