Philippines: Same-sex couples can co-own property, top court rules The landmark decision said

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Same-sex unions are outlawed in conservative Catholic Philippines and it is the only country in the world, outside of the Vatican, that does not allow divorce. This has left #LGBT couples without legal protections when it comes to property, finance and healthcare."

It's SO easy ..... so why all the fuss? There has been a lot of unnecessary fuss and unfounded fear in recent years about #Transgender people and the "Toilet debate". This is very refreshing a step in the right direction.

Alan Turing is famed for cracking the Enigma code during World War II, significantly shortening the war and saving lives. Turing faced persecution for his sexuality, undergoing hormone treatment after a 1952 charge of "gross indecency." He died from cyanide poisoning in 1954. #lgbthistorymonth

Sculpture in the secret walled garden

Part of the Berlin Wall in the woods helping to provoke N understanding of conflict and division

It was great to revisit Carey’s Secret Garden this weekend to catch up with their work with refugees & mark 2yrs since Bibby Stockholm left Dorset
This peaceful place of horticulture, sculpture, nature & ethical commerce needs celebrating & I hope to return soon

GREAT to see this as part of LGBT+ History Month in #Dorset

Two gay/bi men dead!

Police failed to collect evidence. They traced blackmailers but believed their lies. None arrested!

Gang is STILL extorting gay/bi men because of police inaction!

Who's Funding the War on Trans Inclusion? A 40-fold surge in cases and the litigation infrastructure behind it

“When American organisations with annual budgets in the hundreds of millions fund UK litigation, there are legitimate questions about whether this serves British democratic interests”
