At last....Lesbian Labour

[MuthaFunka61]

The cavalry arrives (thank goodness)

"Out and Political
Who are we?
Same-sex attracted women in the Labour Party
Why have we formed Lesbian Labour?
We need a voice of our own to represent us"

This looks promising! More power to their elbow.

[persistentwoman]

Hmmm. I thought lesbians weren't allowed to organise without men's permission?

Well done sisters

[NonnyMouse1337]

First LGB Alliance gaining charity status and now this. Fab news. Best wishes to Lesbian Labour!

[highame]

I hope they branch out and accept straight women.

[PotholeHellhole]

They don't need to, highame, we've got Labour Women's Declaration for women in general. But there really needs to be a specific lesbian only group.

[NonnyMouse1337]

Yes, please refer to the Labour Women's Declaration if you'd like to get involved.
labourwomensdeclaration.org.uk

Given the issues lesbians have had to deal with, it's good to see them start their own group.

[MonkeyNotOrgangrinder]

That piece by Lynn Alderson is amazing

[newnortherner111]

I agree with their aims, and I am straight. I wish them every success.

[Shedbuilder]

I've been waiting for this. Good luck to everyone involved and thank you for speaking out.

[TeiTetua]

It looks good, but I can see people with XY chromosomes wanting to join, and some in the group wanting them not to join (and possibly others vehemently defending their right to join) and a fight breaking out. I hope there's a plan to deal with this.

[RabbitOfCaerbannog]

Yes, let's hope so. There was a thread a while ago about how a lesbian group might go about doing that, can't remember title/op.

[WellIWasInTheNeighbourhoo]

They need to add a point on their website about how to support them.

[Thecatonthemat]

Some familiar faces there. I am sure these women are well able to deal with the idiots who don’t know what a woman or lesbian is.

[MuthaFunka61]

Hi @WellIWasInTheNeighbourhoo, I've contact LL with your question and'll let you know the response.

I'm so glad others are as welcoming and relieved about the formation of this group as I am

[MuthaFunka61]

@WellIWasInTheNeighbourhoo. I've had a response from Lesbian Labour and the advice is to use the contact form on the website initially.

[mollythemeerkat]

I note the support for young lesbians - much needed at a time when so many of them may be influenced by the transboy narrative. Go Lesbian Labour.

[MuthaFunka61]

Here's a press released published in Lesbian and Gay News

lesbianandgaynews.com/2021/04/lesbian-labour-lesbians-within-the-labour-movement-are-fighting-back-against-attacks/

[MuthaFunka61]

The topic of young lesbians being subsumed into trans ideology is mentioned in the above article @mollythemeerkat

[YomTov]

I can promise you, Tei Tetua, that no XYs will have the slightest chance of joining and we are unanimous about that.

[Polovsky]

It is really heartening to see this supportive thread. We have a growing list of names of non-lesbians who want to be Friends of Lesbian Labour. Contact us via website form or [email protected]

[MuthaFunka61]

Great to see you on this thread @YomTov & @Polovsky. Thanks for taking time to post
