Lesbian Visibility march Cardiff 27th April

[WelshSerafina]

It would be great to support this march happening in the capital city of Wales.
Welsh Govt can hardly bear to say the word lesbian these days, unless it’s to describe men as well. They have a so called ‘LGBTQ action plan’ that’s all about the TQ and are intent on self ID. Be good to show them lesbians are not going to shut up and they there’s plenty of support for that too.

Yes I posted this info a while ago but nobody responded!!

And still suggest for those not on twitter to use the search terms I posted to find the gardening site.

Nowhere near Cardiff but boosting and here's hoping the Senedd pay attention

What gardening site? I'm intrigued because this could be the year my black thumb finally turns green. Taking it in baby steps 😎. I'm not on Twitter/X anymore.

I hope to get to Cardiff for the Lesbian Visibility March. I did register - I'm connected to some of the organisers on Facebook. Is anyone from Mumsnet going?

I googled 'lesbian visibility Cardiff' and got to their gardening site.
£1000 needed, £904 to date.

Are GC female bisexuals welcome?

They only seem to have a twitter acount and cant find any other info.

But if you search the phrase and listed above and add the word funding you will find on that info page a contact but also in the text an email address.

Is it allowed to post email address on MN? The rules are a bit hard to keep track off.

£76 short of target!

Have just seen they are now hiding messages from those who have donated.

I wonder why? hope it isn't for negative reasons.

One of the posts it obscured included this info

“The march will be a lesbian - same sex attracted - only march 
^^
Female allies are very much invited and are welcome to support their lesbian sisters as stewards or in other capacities.”

Is that wording supposed to mean: no males at all (including no males who self describe as lesbian) but non-lesbian females are welcome to turn up even if they don’t get in touch in advance to arrange to help out?

Or does it mean non-lesbian females should only turn up if they’ve arranged in advance to help out in some capacity, and no tagging along/marching unless you’re lesbian?

Why not ask via the email address in my post of 17/04/24

My reading of 'Female allies are very much invited and are welcome to support their lesbian sisters as stewards or in other capacities.' would be to turn up, approach an organiser-y looking woman, and ask what they'd like you to do to help out - 'show up and show willing' seems OK to me
If any of the organisers are reading this thread, maybe they'd like to confirm that?

[Draigosaurus]

Why not ask via the email address 

I thought I’d ask here first in case it’s a wording that everyone else understands to quite obviously mean X and it’s just me who’s confused by it. I’d have to duck out of something else to be able to go and support, so I was just trying to get a feel for what the likely response might be before going any further. Thanks all.

I’m not an organiser and posted about this in the event that women were interested in going.
I’d also suggest to email the organisers for anything you need to clarify.
I’d say it’s pretty clear what the arrangements are if you’re a lesbian. An actual one that is and not any of the array of those larping as one (including men).
It’s the ‘straight woman who wants to support the march’ scenario that I presume you’ll need to know more info on.

Yes, that was what I was asking about.

I’ve got this other commitment which I may end up ducking out of. So I couldn’t commit to being a steward but might end up being available to show support by being a friendly bystander. But I’m sure the organisers don’t need to deal with that sort of faffing / last minute-itis, so I won’t get under their feet by emailing them.

Just come along - I’m sure your support will be really appreciated 😊
