Ok, so Madonna who's attained a level of success, wealth, critical acclaim and global adoration from the public and her peers that Roisin Terfy could only dream of has jumped on the 'TQ bandwagon'? π This same Madonna who in the 1970s was dancing with us in underground queer NY nightclubs... 1/
My thoughts on this years' Brighton Pride for @queerguru.bsky.social queerguru.com/queergurus-d...
Queerguru's David Allen reports from BRIGHTON PRIDE 2026 the largest event of its kind in the UK - QUEERGURU
My first Brighton Pride was in 2003. Then, the parade was largely comprised of local groups and LGBTQ+ organisations. Afterwards, you could just walk in (and out of) the park at will; maybe with a pic...

Slurms MacKenzie@slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social Β· 15h agoEHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.
If you don't know who this person is that these feminists are mourning the loss of, it's not for me to speak ill of the dead as he can do that well enough for himself so do a quick Google for 'Rod Liddle', even his Wiki page gives a little taster of who this man was...
Hope the IG link works as they have a better video limit than Bluesky and this needs to be viewed in its entirety. The highlight of Brighton Pride for me this year π www.instagram.com/reel/DblHiCX...

Called it π€·ββοΈ You simply cannot apologise to these people. You cross them once and you're done. Vindictive doesn't even begin to cover it.
David, in Brighton, in 2026@davidbtn2.bsky.social Β· 5d agoIβm going to predict that having crossed her, no apology will ever be enough and sheβll see this through till they no longer exist.
Good luck to all those hoping to get to Brighton for pride this weekend #NetworkRailFail yet again. At least theyβre consistent π
This post on Twitter from Owen Jones in response to Roisin Murphyβs lurch into the anti-LGBT+ mire is superb. Roisin seems to be lashing out because sheβs lost her audience of gay men after coming out as a TERF. But at least she has a new audience of transphobic bigots to flog her music to.
Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. I usually go for 'Back to the Future', 'ET' or 'Star Wars' but they're easily well into double figures so I'll say 'Female Trouble' to the point where I too am likely verbatim, with most of it a least.

Patrick Ness@patricknessbooks.bsky.social Β· 6d agoI saw it so often as a kid that I could very nearly do the whole thing verbatim. Someone once said to me, βThatβs your Edinburgh Fringe show!β
Looks like the vets are diversifying π
A pic of myself in the 70s? Me with my friend Kirsty in 1978 (so we're about 6 years' old). Can you tell my father used to cut my hair? π

Maybe put it on a T-shirt, get a random passer-by to wear it then post it on instagram. They might take it seriously then

Are we ready for a cross between 'Hamnet' and 'All of us Strangers'? π₯Ή No UK release date yet which seems odd given that incredible cast π @beauchamp45.bsky.social had you heard this was being filmed?
Someone on Instagram just referred to Kellie Keen as Jennie Saville π Canβt see the resemblance myself π
Itβs 59 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in England and Wales so long asβ¦ You were in private accommodation There were only two of you (no threesomes or moresomes) Both of you were over the age of 21. NB Arrests for homosexual activity increased after the passing of this legislation.
Here's a tweet by JK Rowling from 2023 referring to her staunch ally Kellie Jay Keen as a "genius," (in a piece by Helen Joyce), and the below recent video showing Keen disrupting Muslim men praying, and proudly identifying herself as an Islamophobe while she does it.
Esheru@esherukweku.bsky.social Β· last wk.Far-right agitator Kellie-Jay Keen deliberately disrupting two Muslim men, as they prayed in a corner of Hyde Park. When government, politicians, media and pundits stay silent about this, theyβre condoning it. As this would never be allowed, had these been Jewish worshippers
Remember how KJK asserts her freedom of speech to shout in public? Here's a Muslim man praying quietly while she tells him he can't. Remember how JKR offered to pay KJK's legal fees should anyone accuse her of bigotry? Here's KJK being a bigot. Check out Smile2Jannah1 on Instagram for the video.
Just watched a clip of a gay comedian arguing with a right-wing US Christian on Piers Morgan's show (Morgan's having the best time watching them as he knows it makes 'television'). The trouble with this kind of programme is it's not news, it's entertainment. No one watching it will think...
Bill Oddie has died aged 85. We'll certainly be thinking of this quote today. #Humanist #Nature #Birdwatching #Humanists #HumanistsUK #BillOddie
Humanists UK@humanists.uk Β· last wk.Springwatch icon, humanist, and probably the UK's best-loved birdwatcher, Bill Oddie, has died aged 85. Very sad. Thank you for a lifetime of helping us understand nature.
E-mail just came in about Brighton Pride arrangements for next weekend and I'm thinking that photo is somewhat inappropriate. I know he's gay too but he's there representing a government that is now implementing harmful legislation against our community π¬
