Did Stonewall forget the Admiral Duncan pub bomb?

[ResisterRex]

I've seen this going on, and kept thinking surely they will mark it but it took until today for them to finally tweet:

"This past weekend marked 23 years since the devastating attack on the well-known gay pub The Admiral Duncan, in London.

Today, we continue fighting for a world where all LGBTQ+ people are free to be themselves without fear, and honour those who lost their lives due to hate."

"The horrific attack on 30 April 1999 killed four people, including an unborn baby, and injured over 70.

Does anyone know what happened? Did they really forget? They were being reminded a lot, and have marked it in the past, so I'm at a loss to understand what happened here. It's baffling.

No need to be baffled. Its all about the T now.

Exactly. They can’t be arsed to remember an anniversary that’s mainly relevant to the gay community.

Yes

Apparently sent a private apology to the person who got a grip of them for forgetting:

Penis News also getting flack for ignoring it too.

Gay people are no longer important.

They also forget it was the last of a series of three bombings. The motivation of the bomber was racism as well as homophobia.

From the update on Paul's blog Update May 3 at 11.30am - I’ve received an apologetic email from Nancy Kelley at Stonewall, thanking me for drawing this to her attention. Expect a statement from them shortly

Yep the head of Stonewall needed her attention to be drawn to the anniversary of a bombing which was motivated by homophobia.

Tells you everything you need to know.
LGB are now superfluous to Stonewall.

No money in the gays now. The grift is the T.

11:30

And then at 11:55, there are those two tweets. That's the statement?

Being same sex attracted is transphobic, so why would Stonewall care?

Exactly.

So no statement, no effort to create a blog post of their own to link to, definitely no attempt at a remembrance service in a timely manner of course. Shocking.

I don’t think they forgot. It just wasn’t on their radar. I would assume those running social media are too young to remember and those doing the planning didn’t think it was ‘on message’ for their current focus. 3 people (one pregnant, so 4 souls).

They (s’wall) were shamed into putting out a tweet which was pretty tone deaf anyway. They don’t even pretend anymore.

If I knew about it, why did the head of the TQ+ charity forget? Oh, yeah, TQ+ is where the money is.
