The Queer Parenting Partnership

The Queer Parenting Partnership was launched in 2020, in response to the shocking lack of birth and parenting support services for LGBTQ+ people in the UK.

It would be interesting to find out who made the poster though.

A concrete thing every UK person who cares about trans rights can do right now:

1. Email a link of this report to your MP, with highlights from the executive summary in your email. Ask them what it means for your constituency and their party - highlight trans people's legally mandated human rights

This is why Pride still matters. Because people in power are actively working to delegitimise our existence. Because institutions that are meant to protect human rights are now being weaponised to question whether we ever deserved them in the first place.

If someone had said this about any other group there would be national outrage. But when it’s trans people, it gets framed as "reasonable debate."

This is government backed gaslighting. It is the justification of a rollback. It is how oppression is framed as fairness and how stripping rights gets sold to the public as "balance."

Let’s be clear: this is not just a bad take. It’s a threat. It’s a declaration that trans peopleβ€”already some of the most marginalized in societyβ€”have supposedly been given too much, and now must be put back in their place.

This was said by Akua Reindorf, one of the eight commissioners at the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). She blames β€œtrans lobbyists” for this supposed deception. Who even are the "trans lobbyists"?!

They ask why we still need Pride. Then they say things like this:

β€œTrans people have been lied to over many years about what their rights are. … There has to be a period of correction because other people have rights.”

We cannot have Pride sponsors who have transphobic policies.
Sign our open letter to demand Pride organisers take action to make Pride fully LGBTQ+ inclusive, and not put profits before protest.

Labelling our identities isn't about telling people who is in our beds. It's about finding community and knowing that we're just a variation of normal. JK Rowling is perpetuating harm against the Ace community and people shouldn't stand for it.

"When I found the term β€œasexual,” it was as if a massive weight had been lifted off my chest. Suddenly, there was a name for what I’d been feeling, and I wasn’t alone."

Revealed: Streeting met with and expressed sympathy for pro-conversion therapy parents group Bayswater QueerAF has uncovered video footage of the Health Secretary Wes Streeting saying he’d met with Bayswater parents and expressed his sympathy for the β€œtraumatic experiences” families with trans children...

I would like to be explicit here. Bayswater as not *just* a conversion therapy group. They are explicitly a child abuse enabling group.

In the Bayswater discord, parents talked about destroying their kids possessions and blocking access to childline.
