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).

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

ScreamingMeMe · 27/08/2021 13:20

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

Outbutnotoutout · 27/08/2021 18:19

[quote MsFogi]@Outbutnotoutout if you google Amazon Prime Smile you should end up in the right sort of place to opt in and set up your charity.
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

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

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

refusetobeasheep · 07/10/2021 19:32

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

Why does it matter? Do Cabinet Ministers realise that Twitter followers and likes can bought?

The number of Twitter followers doesn't necessarily reflect engagement.

Pink News for example have a large following but their engagement rate of people liking and commenting is very poor for most tweets. The LGBA do better on that score with less followers.

OvaHere · 07/10/2021 19:44

Also Stonewall as well actually. For a famous org with a large following their support via likes is not where you would expect it to be.

Same!

@OvaHere

I'm not sure Cabinet Ministers are known for being bright so they probably don't realise that!

A young person I know had to get a certain number of followers on Instagram before they could apply for an internship.

It is all a bit ridiculous, but sometimes you just gotta play the game...

What?! 😳😳😳

AgentProvocateur · 08/10/2021 06:06

Can someone explain the Amazon thing to me please?

Theeyeballsinthesky · 08/10/2021 06:12

Christ that’s depressing! I mean yes lots of ppl should follow LGBA but the idea that cabinet fucking ministers allow policy decisions to be influenced by how many followers an organisation has on twitter is worrying on so many levels!

FindTheTruth · 08/10/2021 06:16

Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases to your chosen charity at no cost to you. To set up an AmazonSmile Account
Go to the AmazonSmile hub and click "Get Started." If you already have an Amazon account, you'll be asked to sign in. You'll be prompted to pick a charity. From then on just remember to use smile.amazon not amazon, whenever you purchase.

Thank you @FindTheTruth I didn’t know this. Will set it up later.

Seconding nominating LGBA via Amazon Smile.
It's a bit irritating to have to keep remembering to sign on via smile before purchasing but now I've bookmarked it, every purchase benefits them.

Apparently the main reason (or one of the main reasons at least) Ms K Stock is no longer an employee of Sussex Uni- the students found out she was a trustee for the LGB Alliance.

"I am a straight female - but changed my Amazon Prime (smile) to LGB Alliance"

The LGB Alliance this year lost £96k in a failed attempt trying to ban trans-women from using women's toilets. Maybe you can help fund their next failed attempt?

RedDogsBeg · 13/11/2021 14:34

The Crown Office and the Police Service in Scotland wasted a load of tax payer money on the ludicrous case against Marion Millar, perhaps you'd like to give HMRC an extra chunk of your money to offset this loss and help fund future wasteful cases such as that MargaritaPie?

TooWicked · 13/11/2021 14:45

Thanks for the Movement for Good link @FindTheTruth I have nominated LBG Alliance.

TooWicked · 13/11/2021 14:48

And thanks for bumping the thread MargaritaPie to prompt me to nominate them! 👍🏽

That doesn't make the students sound any better, in fact ot makes them sound like homophobes forcing a lesbian out of her job because she is a trustee of a charity which focuses on same sex relationships.

Also the case you are referring to raised money separate to LGBA, and did not divert cash donated specifically to LGBA, but you already knew that Marg, you just throw mud around and hope some sticks.
