Just spotted this. About 6,300 people have signed Paisley's. This is the version for LGB people.

We the undersigned ask that the UK media continues to provide a platform for the uncontentious organisation LGB Alliance.
The UK media have only recently started to provide a critical voice to the self decalred LGBTQIA+ Leaders. However, these groups do not represent the views of all LGB people. Many Homosexual and bisexual people welcome the "LGB Alliance", an organisation many in the community feel is important to represent same-sex attracted people and people attracted to both sexes. The wider community no longer seems to represent us.
LGB Alliance faces criticism for being a pro LGB group, sometimes even cited as being transphobic by groups that do not want homosexuals to have a voice. LGB people should have a voice on issues that concern them.
LGB Alliance is a pro-LGB group and as such provide a voice for LGB people.
Some radical LGBTQ+ community groups do not like the 'LGB Alliance' However many lesbian, gay and bisexual people do.
LGB Alliance gives a voice for many LGB people that have been excluded and feel they are no longer represented by the dominant self-elected representatives in the 'community' we started.
LGB Alliance co-founders are lesbian women and gay men. They support other LGB people and groups and promote due regard for equality rights under the Equality Act 2010.
The LGB alliances aim to promote and to protect individuals from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation.
LGB Alliance promotes an alternative view to mainstream organisations that no longer prioritise the rights of LGB people
LGB Alliance has members that are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual.
The LGB Alliance are widely thought of as a pro-LGB group, as such any discussion in the UK media should frame them with respect to LGB issues within the LGBT+ community.
They speak for many of us, silences in recent debates and they should be quoted and asked to comment on issues relating to sexual orientation and affecting the LGBT+ community without the need to justify their stance of defending LGB people.
Many LGBT+ organisations attempt to describe the LGB Alliance as a "transphobic hate group".however the rights of individuals to come together under the common characteristics of sexual orientation is not hateful. Homosexuals have human rights and we would like to be represented by an organisation that reflects our view.
The TUC condemn organisations that focus on homosexual interest as ' hateful'. however the "LGB Alliance" is the only group in the UK to speak solely for LGB people.
The UK is an increasingly hostile place for same-sex attracted people and members of the bisexual community, homophobic hate crime in the last five years has tripled. It is more important than ever that the homosexual and bisexual community and allies stand together to oppose intolerance of same-sex attracted people.
The LGB Alliance represent many in the LGB community. We reject anti- homophobic rhetoric & support our fellow community members. Homosexual rights are human rights. LGB people should not be shamed.
