We recently organised a national tour with @LesbianLabour called 'Lesbian not Criminal', warning about how new laws like Gender Self-ID undermine the right of lesbians to insist only females can be lesbians and only males can be gay men.
Here's a taster of the London event👇

Lesbians are women and we are loud and proud in support of all lesbians who say so. Join us next week at a series of women-only events in Edinburgh, Cardiff and London to hear how Self-ID could criminalise the truth, and find out what we can do to resist.

Professor Robert Wintemute visited McGill University in Montreal to discuss how militant trans activism can be intolerant and intimidating.
Screaming protesters shut the event down.
Prof Wintemute joins me tonight on FREE SPEECH NATION. 7pm on @GBNEWS!

Today we and a wide range of co-signatories have written to Alister Jack, Secretary of State for Scotland. It is our view that the Scottish GRRB will remove our rights under the protected characteristic of sexual orientation in the Equality Act 2010.

One of our trustees Rob Wintemute was prevented from speaking at McGill University in Montreal by a baying mob.
It's disgraceful that an eminent gay professor of human rights law was unable to discuss gay rights. Gay people still have rights, don't we?

2022 was a momentous year for LGB Alliance. Finally UK society started to become aware of the difference between LGB sexual orientation and TQ+ identity politics. Let’s review some key moments in the year we cut through!

When it comes to medicalisation of gender-questioning youth, research into whether this improves mental health is sparse and low quality. This new report from @SexMattersOrg attempts to fill in the gaps, and finds it may be worse than a placebo 👇

Today LGB Alliance and 4 other gay and lesbian groups wrote to all MSPs urging them to reconsider the Scottish GR Reform bill.
Yesterday’s judgment clarified that a GRC changes both sex and sexual orientation under the Equality Act. It is imperative to rethink this bad Bill.
LGB Matters retweeted
Today’s judgment in Edinburgh is dramatic and important. We intervened in support of @ForWomenScot because we believe our rights as LGB people are based on biological sex and were concerned that Scottish govt legislation would undermine this in law. 1/

With a final reading of the Scottish Government's gender reforms due to be rushed through on December 21st, the legitimate concerns of many groups continue to be ignored by politicians who prefer not to hear dissenting voices.
Please contact your MSP and make your voice heard.

Our mission is to oppose discrimination against LGB people. In April, we vowed to fight what we believe is the discriminatory decision to revoke the grant for our short film “Very British Gays”. We’re pleased to see ACE being challenged for improper bias.

Our trustee Robert Wintemute calls for Scottish gender recognition reforms to be halted and explains how his views changed by listening to women's concerns.
Far from being international best practice, self-id will simply fuel more demands from lobbyists.

In 2020, we warned that the Scottish Government's GR Reform Bill risks the safety of girls and women (including lesbians). We welcome the UN Special Rapporteur’s warning that this Bill is flawed and the process could be abused by men with malign intent.

As the Scottish Parliament debates the Gender Recognition Reform Bill, today we have taken out a full-page ad in The Scotsman outlining the profound and inevitable damage this proposed legislation will have on LGB people.
