twitter.com/LGBAlliance_USA I hope his links ok. If not, could someone more competent do another one Grin

I think this is good news, not just for lesbians but for all GC women.

Is this the original Cathy Brennan who is a lesbian activist, or the TW who copied her name?

I won’t disable my ad blocker to read pink news, so any chance of a precis of why you feel LGB Alliance are homophobic? I know a number of lesbians and gay men who oppose marriage equality, on the basis that they feel the uniqueness of gay culture is diminished by mimicking aspects of heterosexual culture such as marriage. Opposition to marriage doesn’t automatically mean homophobia.

The concept of cross bench/bipartisan politics really has died a death hasn’t it? It’s not just possible to work with people with whom you disagree on many issues, it’s positively desirable. The most stable democracies in the world all function like this. It’s just bonkers to insist on only working with people with whom you agree on everything.

So the troll version of Cathy Brennan isnt a fan. Big surprise.

@BadhbhCatha

I am guessing it must be an effort of WoLF, which I am not a fan of. The cloak and dagger stuff is a huge red flag.
WoLF is badass.

Their Amicus briefs are a force to be reckoned with. Their support and fight for US human female rights is one of the few positive things happening for girls/women in the US right now. They are one of few voices fighting for all girls/women (human females) but most importantly the most vulnerable of girls/women (human females) in this nation.

lol the real one www.facebook.com/bugbrennan/

Oh, my bad. Hello Cathy!
And now LGB Alliace USA blocking you on Twitter suddenly makes sense Grin

BadhbhCatha · 03/09/2020 18:48

Yeah, Pink News sucks, but the tweets/posts are on LGB Alliance's social media, that's the point.

nachthexe · 03/09/2020 18:33

Cathy Brennan? Or Cathy Brennan? Grin last time I was around twatter (which was some time ago due to the whole banning of biology thing) there was quite a difference.
Pink News Grin

PrincessZog · 03/09/2020 18:28

You still haven't linked to their supposedly homophobic statements.

The Penis News articles is a load of bs.

Twunk · 03/09/2020 18:28

Some women object to the patriarchal concept of marriage in all its forms.

DrDetriment · 03/09/2020 18:26

Cathy, how is it remotely possible for an LGB organisation to be homophobic? I genuinely want to know. As a straight woman I don't understand.

Datun · 03/09/2020 18:25

I'm pretty certain it was something to do with the fact they weren't that bothered about marriage as an ideological concept anyway.

It wasn't figuring large in their philosophy.

Nothing to do with legal rights. Or a legal contract.

Twunk · 03/09/2020 18:24

Lol pink news 😂

BadhbhCatha · 03/09/2020 18:20

I am not anonymous - I'm Cathy Brennan, thought that was in my profile.

BadhbhCatha · 03/09/2020 18:19

I read their tweets and posts? www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/08/21/lgb-alliance-founder-bev-jackson-heritage-foundation-tweets/ and www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/06/19/lgb-alliance-same-sex-marriage-twitter-transgender-homophobia-owen-jones-baclash/ - you can also google. I am not a fan of Pink News but the opposition to marriage is equality is a huge red flag.

BadhbhCatha · 03/09/2020 18:16

I mean, I don't think I need to say one is less homophobic so it's cool. LOL

Twunk · 03/09/2020 17:57

I would also be interested to know what the “homophobic statements” were? That’s quite an accusation to throw around.

Tereskova · 03/09/2020 17:22

Also if you pm me your twitter handle I can check what happened and ask them to unblock you.

Tereskova · 03/09/2020 17:21

They blocked you on Twitter so you can’t join the Facebook group or send the Facebook page a message?

I don’t think anonymously popping up on mumsnet will get you the answers you’re looking for, but if you’re in the States totally feel free to join an help us steer it in the right direction.

Datun · 03/09/2020 17:15

@BadhbhCatha

No, I can't. They blocked me on Twitter even though I have never interacted with them.
Oh well. Maybe try writing a letter?
Apollo440 · 03/09/2020 17:11

The LGB Alliance has made some pretty homophobic statements

Wow. More homophobic than saying homosexuality isn't same sex attraction which is Stonewall's position. Please link to these statements so we can share your horror.

BadhbhCatha · 03/09/2020 17:03

No, I can't. They blocked me on Twitter even though I have never interacted with them.

Datun · 03/09/2020 16:53

@BadhbhCatha

Yes, Who are the LGB People from all over the US who are involved? The people who are the Facebook admins?
You could always ask them.
BadhbhCatha · 03/09/2020 16:48

Because groups ought to be transparent. The LGB Alliance has made some pretty homophobic statements and taken some homophobic positions, so I'd like to evaluate whether this is a real effort or just more astroturf.
