Gay nya-ight folks

We've prepared as much as we can in advance for tomorrow and painted our nails (complete with bottom and top coats!), so feeling pretty proud.

Alarm is set for 06:45 BST (UTC+1) in order to ensure we get to the station in plenty of time to get our train just after 08:00.

Very much looking forward to London Trans+ Pride tomorrow, partly to be around so many other trans folk and protest, but also to see many fedi friends for the first time and to catch up with other friends we haven't seen in yonks

Today is the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York, where a police raid-turned police harassment galvanized a downtrodden community to stand up to what they had put up with for so long. This uprising was the start of Pride demonstrations that continue to be practiced all over the world.

Pride is a protest, and it will always stay that way.
Join us at Trans Pride Southampton tomorrow, where Pride is always a protest.

The fact that the Tories think the first week of #Pride is a good time to launch a Transphobic (& Homophobic, as it will impact many cis women whose gender expression is not classically feminine) policy shows exactly why #PrideIsAProtest

Another great article from Alex/ Rose Cocker for @thecanaryuk

I am offering 2 subsidised ceremonies- weddings, child naming, vow renewals for 2025.

You must:
> identify as queer;
> be unable to afford a celebrant;
> have your ceremony in County Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford.

It will be booked on a first come, first serve basis.

I will give all proceeds (after deducting basic costs - eg travel) to @TENI

Hey folks

I'm looking for some small queer stores to buy pride stuff from

MUST be:

• small businesses / individuals who could REALLY do with the support.
• based in mainland UK, so stuff will arrive in time for pride events in July.

Boosts welcomed to get this to a wider audience

Words mean nothing if you're not willing to actually take a REAL stand against fanatical bigotry, Joe

As more and more states explicitly target #Pride celebrations with unconstitutional bans that also endanger the sponsorships that power most Pride orgs ... I want us to prove that #PrideIsAProtest isn't just empty rhetoric nowadays.

We must reinvigorate the spirit of #queer people in the 70s and 80s who faced similar repression and marched anyway.

@Natasha_Jay YESSSS sometimes easy to forget that #PrideIsAProtest, but *damn* you're right
