LGB Alliance is trending on twitter after 1) fake claims of secret meetings with Government (since retracted) and 2) a BBC News article (about OfComs withdrawal from SW) comparing LGB Alliance to Stonewall www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58336116

"Why has Ofcom withdrawn?
In December, Ofcom's chief executive Dame Melanie Dawes appeared to suggest at a parliamentary select committee that the BBC should not talk to a charity called the LGB Alliance, which has emerged as a rival to Stonewall.

Critics accuse the LGB Alliance of transphobia, because it campaigns for lesbian, gay and bisexual rights, but not transgender people. It denies the allegation."

TRAs are rattled if they are coming out with such specific lies (specific lies are very easy to disprove; only someone in a panic screws up like this).

Im assuming the plot by the fox botherer to use the courts to destroy the LGBA is going down the drain? Do you think someone high up is having a quiet word with Joyless and his fellow travellers? Something about when your in a hole, fgs stop digging.

I have a monthly DD to LGBA

It feels like homophobia is back in a big way, so it seemed like a way to contribute to a more equal society

It was very easy to set up through their website

If you use Amazon you can also set them up as your nominated charity.

I have a direct debit set up for LGBA as well. They are the only group that respects my sexual orientation and represents me. Smile

So, obviously this will attract a few 'Look, a squirrel!' type posts, but I'd like to say that as a lesbian, mother, survivor of conversion therapy and centre left feminist, I am very grateful there is a charity that is dedicated to the rights of LGB people and the issues which affect us.

If anyone hasn't seen, Dennis Kavanagh wrote a cracking letter to GLP asking for transparency regarding their case against LGB Alliance

Yes it's a damned good letter isn't it?

Really is. Asks some very important questions that would be great to see answered.

I'm sure GLP will be more than happy to respond, being huge fans of transparency and all that...

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.

dyslek · 26/08/2021 19:15

Wait, Iv got Amazon prime. I had no idea about the charity thing. I will attend to it imediatly. Smile

MrsOvertonsWindow · 26/08/2021 19:46

What a great letter. It accurately calls out the arrogance, the overreach and the inbuilt homophobia evident in the challenge.
I've also changed my Amazon charity to support the LGB Alliance. Gloriously it was some tra prat on twatter who alerted me to it.

ahem

"Further concerns were raised last week when the LGB Alliance posted a tweet that violated Twitter’s policy on hateful conduct.

The government’s Charity Commission is “engaging” with the LGB Alliance after it breached Twitter rules by comparing LGBT+ inclusion to bestiality."

Would that be the tweet that referred to a paper specifically discussing the inclusion of zoophilia within the LGBT+ umbrella?

That is to say, they compared bestiality to bestiality?

OldCrone · 26/08/2021 21:07

The penis news article describes LGB Alliance as anti trans. So a LGB charity which doesn't centre trans people is anti-trans according to them

Does this mean that trans charities such as Mermaids and Gendered Intelligence should properly be described as anti-LGB?

The easiest way for me to check if this is the case inspiral is to see if margarita changes the subject or otherwise ignores your comment

Winterfire thank you for the letter and Flowers BernardBlack, Nonny, dyslek, Devon, Overton, Floral

That puts FloralBunting’s predicted ‘look, a squirrel!’ in a new and disturbing light, certainly.

Yep

And the cats protection league are anti dog

And the rspb are anti cat (to be fair this one makes sense)

Ahem.

LGB A quote tweeted Allison Bailey who had tweeted about this
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4320892-Queer-theory-and-bestiality-LGBTQ-Z

Bestiality is a criminal offence. Objecting to it being added to the LGBT alphabet, as Allison and LGB A did, is not.

I'm sure the Charity Commission has better critical thinking skills than homophobes on Twitter.

MoreRainThanAnyYet · 26/08/2021 21:18

And Age UK are anti child, and Save the Children hate adults. All makes sense now.

Just type the word smile and a full stop in front of the amazon.co.uk address in the navigation bar.

I was delighted with the LGB Alliance was formed and gladly support them with a monthly direct debit. In fact I doubled the monthly sum a while back, inspired by trolls who turned up here to warn us of the dreadful peril of supporting an organisation formed to protect the rights of same sex oriented people. We homosexual people need to look out for each other in this strange new homophobic world that tries to shame us with accusations of being genital fetishists because our orientation is sex based.

I also very much appreciate lesbianandgaynews.com To the extent of having bought a year's membership and just given a contribution to their latest appeal. It's so refreshing to have a trustworthy online news source that covers lesbian gay and bisexual issues.

Let's just say, this isn't my first rodeo and some people are tediously predictable Wink
