LGB Alliance Ireland launched (getting lots of flack)

[GrainneMhaol]

Hi everyone, LGB Alliance Ireland launched this week. This is their twitter page twitter.com/Ire_LGBAlliance?s=09

They've got a lot of flack about them being British T**fs bring their hateful ideas to Ireland etc. (Infecting our poor sweet innocent Irish colleens with their British ideas That is the tone of the reaction).

Some of the replies here will give you an idea of the hyperbolic reaction, and also the quote tweets

Unsurprisingly Pink News and Gay Community News (like an Irish version of Pink News) have run with the evil Brits line.

Just to clarify I'm not involved directly with the Alliance but support it.

Totally up for secret handshakes, lol.

It should be something hilarious, but subtle.

So if TW are really lesbians they have more privilege than any other lesbians in history because they are the only lesbians who always had the same rights as straight people. If they are women they have more privilege than any other woman in history because they are the only women who always had the same rights as men.

Sending Christmas cheer Ceri.

Hope everything is going well.

Xenophobes and homophobes form a toxic mix. But their hate-filled insults can't harm the strong-minded LGB people who are speaking up for themselves. Good luck to the LGBA everywhere. You flourish in the sunlight, while it withers xenophobia and homophobia.
