just made them my charity of choice on amazon - and actually turned it in properly which hadn't before

LGB Alliance are asking for more followers on Twitter.

For anyone who didn't know, they have been at the Tory conference this week, and 2 different Cabinet Ministers told them it matters how many Twitter followers they have:

Well worth a follow as they want what we want #SexNotGender

Can't tell you how disappointed I am to discover that pic is a montage. I really believed for a short time that Jolyon had a pouting pic of Shon Fae on his wall. Sad

It would be quite a message if every GC person set up the LGB Alliance as their charity for a while! Perhaps some of the shops that have jumped on the Mermaids etc bandwagon may realise that their virtue signalling is potentially alienating a significant number of people. Not to mention a bit of a boost to the LGBA coffers to help them become a real alternative to SW.[/quote]
Thank you I have added them on my amazon

How many spurious claims do TRAs have to make before the Charity Commission can tell them to fuck off?

Straight female here too - now LGB Alliance supporter on Amazon Smile.

DifficultBloodyWoman · 27/08/2021 11:37

Right, done for Amazon.co.uk. However, I also have a (separate) account with Amazon.com in the US and the LGB Alliance is not an option on that site. (And they are currently promoting the Trevor Project which may well do much good work but was cited by Daniel Radcliffe in his tweet against JK Rowling so I refuse to support it).

Masdintle · 27/08/2021 11:22

Yes, me too. Hope someone notices

I am a straight female - but changed my Amazon Prime (smile) to LGB Alliance. It doesn't cost anything - but hoping it sends a message.
Brilliant idea!

I’m also straight and I will do the same.

I'm a straight woman and have just changed mine on Amazon. Thanks for the tip

I might be going, yusWink
I'm also super jealous. I can't arrange the time off for it.

I'm sure @NonnyMouse1337 and I will be expecting a full report Grin

Very interested to know how yo do this

As eager as Margerita might be for this thread to be about Zoophilia, it's about LGB Alliance and it's important that LGB people hsve an org that looks out for them. Most people think it's a good idea for charities to have a specific focus, and it's great that LGB have one for them.
Apologies. I wasn't intending to derail the thread with the link to the Z paper, just confirm that it's some of the LGBTQ+++++ types who want to add Z, and LGB Alliance have objected to this.

Derail over.

Sophoclesthefox · 27/08/2021 09:59

Thanks for the tip about Amazon smile, I have selected LGB Alliance as mine now.

That’s a cracking letter linked upthread. The smearing is desperate. No one has yet explained to me why it’s OK to have dozens of trans focused charities that don’t campaign on LGB issues, but it’s unacceptable to have one LGB charity that focuses only on LGB.

Must they all always be addressed together or not?

It seems sensible that if Stonewall etc wish to campaign for same gender attraction among their aims, then the field is open for those who prefer to focus on same sex (or same sex + opposite sex) attraction , and LGB alliance are well placed to do that.

Not “anti-“, just “not interested”. Smile

UnGoogled yes.

Isn't the this the FIRST time the BBC have put LGBA alongside SW in an article?

Jonny Bests article: "There are now two lobbying charities aiming to represent lesbian and gay people. Stonewall, which argues that the policies and principles of LGB Alliance (prioritising biological sex over gender identity) are transphobic, and LGB Alliance, which argues that the policies and principles of Stonewall (prioritising gender identity over biological sex) are homophobic."

Thanks for this thread, I had just read the REVEAL! about LGBA on Twitter, and see that it wasn't as it first seemed.

UnGoogled · 27/08/2021 09:19

Thanks for this thread, I do find it interesting how the BBC article positions LGBA alongside Stonewall as a legitimate charity, despite everything else. Change is afoot, and the sooner the better.

NonnyMouse1337 · 27/08/2021 08:29

Is anyone going to their conference in London later this year? I wish I could go but it's a bit too far for me. Looking forward to hearing all about it though!

Absolutely! Let's leave this person to get on with their own research on zoophilia.
