Pride in Labour 🌈 🌹

This month will mark one year of Pride in Labour. It hasn't been easy. We are fighting for scraps of dignity, and for progress that feels too slow. But we're still here. We're still fighting. And we will win. Together. ✊ #PrideInLabour #OneYearIn

Yesterday, we went to @LGBTLabour's social which was held in place of its postponed AGM. There's a lot to reflect on. But one thing is clear: LGBT+ Labour isn't working. In place of action, we got small talk. In place of democracy, we got spin. This isn't working.

Our committee will be meeting this evening to discuss and examine the abhorrent guidance issued by the government in the last few days. In the absence of @LGBTLabour, we must do all that we can to fight.

Got an opinion you'd like to share? Write something for our website! We are keen to platform people who are LGBTQ+ and have a story to tell 👇 prideinlabour.org.uk/write

We’d hoped to be at the @LGBTLabour AGM… but we went to the social instead. We urgently need an AGM and a democratic committee vote - it’s time to give members a proper choice 🏳️‍⚧️

In an hour, the LGBT+ Labour committee becomes illegitimate. Members have been denied a vote, and @transalliance25 candidates denied the chance to participate. This isn’t democracy. It’s a shutdown of accountability.

In one hour from now, @LGBTLabour was due to have their AGM. Instead, they decided to deny members the choice of who they want to lead the fight for equality, solidarity, and justice. They have questions to answer. The @transalliance25 will continue this fight.

Release the constitution, @LGBTLabour. We're waiting 👇 prideinlabour.org.uk/post/we-demand…

Today marks 365 days since the Labour Party promised a ban on conversion therapy. A year on, we're still waiting for a draft bill. Today, take some time to write to your MP and tell them that time's up. #BanConversionTherapy prideinlabour.org.uk/times-up

We've requested it by email, and I've requested it on the Committee WhatsApp. For months. They can't accomplish the most basic things expected of any organisation. They should resign and allow me to run the AGM so we can elect a competent committee that has members' confidence.

We’re not doing this to be malicious. We’re doing this because democracy and accountability are non-negotiable. We need @LGBTLabour to do better 👇 prideinlabour.org.uk/post/we-demand…

We're still waiting to hear from @LGBTLabour. Members deserve transparency. Find out how you can help us 👇 prideinlabour.org.uk/post/we-demand…
