This arrived in my email for British Cycling ride leaders on the 'female only' Breeze rides program.
They say "This week is Lesbian Visibility Week which aims to show solidarity with all LGBTQI women and non-binary people in all communities, as well as celebrate lesbians. It is essential that Lesbian Visibility Week is a voice for unity and lifts up ALL women, especially those who come from marginalised communities.To help support the LGBTQI community in recreational cycling, we wanted to share a sports toolkit from Stonewall."
This has really got my goat. LVW wasn't even mentioned in the regular BC members emails or other things I get from them. Do they think lesbians never go to any of their other events or rides? Why do Breeze leaders have to promote a load of non-lesbians in LVW? Also I should check my emails earlier as the week is gone now, I know.
I just wanted a rant. I read the Breeze leader's submission to the WESC linked in another thread and thought I might get disciplined if I complained.
