"Nancy Kelley, the chief executive of the charity, lashed out at “anti-gender” and “trans-hostile” groups after the African nation passed a law making it illegal to identify as LGBT. In a tweet yesterday, Ms Kelley shared a video of the Ugandan parliament applauding the move, writing: “The anti-gender movement has been funnelling cash and strategy into countries around the world for decades. This is ‘winning’ for them. This is the world we enable with our complacency. Solidarity to our LGBTQ family in Uganda.”

She added: “Many trans-hostile individuals and actors like to pretend the UK anti-trans moral panic is a distinct phenomenon. It isn’t.”"

Part of the response to these comments:

"Bev Jackson, the co-founder of the charity LGB Alliance which formed in opposition to Stonewall’s gender identity stance, said Ms Kelley’s tweet was “utterly disgusting”. “Trying to equate LGB activists with fanatical and well-funded evangelical homophobes is really the lowest of the low,” she said.

LGB Alliance sponsored Uganda Pride last year and also invited Isaac Mugisha, the chair of the Ugandan Pride movement and the leading opponent of hostile laws in the country, to its London conference. It organised a meeting between him and an LGBT group of Parliamentarians."

no one wants to ban trans ppl on this board - we simply want trans ppl where it is important to use the facilities of or participate witj members of their natal sex

Or a third space which they dismiss out of hand.

The same people that want to ban trans want to ban being gay.

Could you please provide evidence of that assertion?

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 25/03/2023 10:01

yup, the law in Uganda makes homosexuality punishable by death and Nancy Kelley is a loon who should resign

the correct response to this law was not to use it to make a load of made up accusations against unrelated people in the UK. chocolate teapot

Never heard of anti- gender before. What is that meant to be?

Isn't the Uganda law about LGB? That's how I read it. Here's what the LGBA have been this:

Godsake are you not embarrassed with your force teaming?

  1. no one wants to ban trans ppl on this board - we simply want trans ppl where it is important to use the facilities of or participate witj members of their natal sex
  2. it is TRA who are insist that same sex attraction is phobic and thaf lesbians who won’t accept TW as dating partners are transphobic
  3. it is TRA who insist that a man who presents in a feminine way is a woman - Transing away the gay
  4. So get to fuck

The same people that want to ban trans want to ban being gay. From a religious and right wing perspective, there’s no difference. It’s not difficult to understand that this is how they think, and I have no idea why people on this board don’t get it.
