If you're in Mid Bedforshire and have opinions on what you'd like to see from your (prospective) MP on behalf of the local LGBTQ+ community, please get in touch as you may be able to help BBC Three Counties Radio with an upcoming podcast episode.

Happy #InternationalNonBinaryPeoplesDay everyone! Sending love to all our NB followers and volunteers. Hope to see you soon!

It’s been 5 years since the UK Government first promised to #BanConversionTherapy . But we’re still waiting.

During this time, we estimate thousands of LGBTQ+ people in the UK have suffered these harmful attempts to ‘cure’ us.

We hope to see lots of you tomorrow for Pride in Luton, celebrating all the beautiful diversity in the area!
We'll be there to chat at our stall in the Wellbeing Hub within the Hat Factory where we'll have leaflets, badges etc and then later we hope to join the party!

BREAKING: Draft of UK ban on #ConversionTherapy just published

But it allows people to ‘consent’ which won’t protect the majority who, under pressure, volunteer for unethical, harmful & ineffective therapy

This renders the ban useless

It is vital now more than ever to stand with our trans & gender-nonconforming siblings, fight for their rights & spread as much trans joy & power as possible.⁠

We are here, we will remain radically visible & we are NOT going anywhere⁠💪

This #TransDayOfVisibility we celebrate all our trans siblings who are cherished members of our community. We will always stand with them in the fight for equality. As a reminder, all our services and events are fully trans inclusive!

See you all at Luton Hoo

'In due course'. Victims of conversion practices have heard this phrase for 5 years by the Government, and it leaves them with no support or protection from abuse.

It is not 'contentious'. Medical, psychological and human rights leaders agree #BanConversionTherapy
