LGB Alliance tweet says:

In breaking news GoFundMe has now closed our page and is refunding money to donors. We will set up a link on our website so that you can make direct donations to #LGBAlliance very soon. #AnnoyingButMinor #WeWillNotBeSilenced

Notice on the change in our donations campaign. JustGiving closed down our page, possibly in relation to the success of the recent campaign. (We did receive the donations)./1of5

Totally unsurprised that it’s an SNP MP behind this. Virtue signalling, the scoring of woke points, and wilful ignorance of the real issues are hallmarks of the party.

Babdoc. Hope you are feeling better 💐💐🍹

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 01/05/2020 10:10

Second that, littl, hope you are recovered Babdoc.

KaronAVyrus · 01/05/2020 10:27

Hope you are on the mend Babdoc. Flowers
Most of my family live in Nicholson’s constituency. Some of them even voted for him. But every single one of them is disgusted by his actions and have sworn never to vote SNP again.
In the midst of a pandemic his actions are utterly unforgivable. People have died, many of his constituents have already lost (or extremely worried about their jobs) as hospitality/tourism is the big employer there and he has chosen to salivate over TRA issues.

I'm not same-sex attracted but I suspect my daughter might be. (Wouldn't mind talking to some older lesbians about this actually for some advice so I can learn how to talk to her about so that she can talk about it with pride. But that's off-topic).

She will need a safe space away from bullying intimidation. I'm going to report this MP and as soon as I can, donate more.

I'm really annoyed by this. I was going to donate some money after pay day and then realised both funding pages were taken down. The lengths some people will go to to justify their homophobia. Angry

I can't imagine how difficult it must be for young LGB people these days to be told that your same sex sexual orientation is a 'genital preference' and makes you 'transphobic'.

HDDD · 01/05/2020 13:59

Blimey - the pages were shut down by MEN, quelle surprise.

Thanks, Little and Scrimp! Day 40 today. Still breathless on minimal exertion, and sleeping is patchy, but otherwise much better. I gather it takes at least 3 months for full recovery from Covid (and up to a year for the worst ITU cases), so I hope to improve further yet.
Happy to be back on the fwr board with you lovely lot!

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 01/05/2020 15:39

Glad you're somewhat improved, Babdoc, hope it continues.

I had a run the other day and noticed how much my lung capacity was diminished (otherwise I'd have said I was completely recovered).

Hope you're able to rest and recuperate. Naps are the business, especially if you're not sleeping well. Take it easy! Brew

How can I donate directly?
I was worried about reports of fake links/web addresses.

littlbrowndog · 02/05/2020 00:47

I had it babdoc . I think as was doc said. Just had awful sore legs and heDache for a week and some shivery moments and tiredness but who knows

But for heck’s sake you were so unwell and glad u feel better 🍹

EmpressLangClegInChair · 02/05/2020 12:46

They’re working on setting up direct donation from the site.

Sorry about the link I posted before, the page was still being worked on so I shouldn’t have.

BatShite · 02/05/2020 14:48

Might be wrong, but sure I remember transgender trend getting more donations/positive publicity following TRAs employing the same behaviour.

Also one of the replies on the tweet...

There is nothing respectful about a group who denies reality.

Heh Grin

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 02/05/2020 15:04

Will probably get jumped on for saying this but I'm not at all surprised they get shut down.

I follow LGB Alliance on twitter, and their tone is not what you'd expect from a "grown up" responsible charity. Most of their content is negative rather positive campaigning.

I totally support what they are trying to do, but I'm not sure they are going about it in the right way at the moment.

Stealhsquirrelnutkin · 02/05/2020 20:46

Huzzah! They've obviously been working really hard to solve this problem, because it is now possible to donate directly via this page, both one off and regular donations can be sent.

donate.lgballiance.org.uk

I increased my monthly payment by a fiver, and now I have to work out how much I donated when John Nicolson was being a provocative arse on twatter, so that I can double the amount and redonate it, as promised.

That bears repeating - what a prat Grin Grin

OvaHere · 03/05/2020 17:56

They seem to have sorted out their direct donations now.

It's a far better set up than using funding sites.

MrGHardy · 04/05/2020 18:35

“violent and abusive language”

lmfao, they should sue.
