Qanon basically came true. a cabal of pedophile sex traffickers has seized control of the state news.sky.com/story/andrew...

UPDATE Belfast Pride have POSTPONED their launch event planned for tomorrow until the end of next month.

Belfast Pride seem to be doubling down on their stance from yesterday. Public engagement events announced.

I think it's safe to say that Belfast Pride has massively fumbled the bag here and not read the room given the amount of public backlash.

I'll quickly translate to save people time. "Belfast Pride stands in support of the trans community but that solidarity up until we might annoy our friends and funders in Sinn Fein & Alliance. We have delegated this to the "community" to decide so we can absolve ourselves of responsibility."

Anyone remember this?

Belfast Pride have put out a statement which says very little if anything. And a link to a survey that again, asks very little.

Quite a big deal from NATO’s official contrarian: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: “We are in favor of Ukraine becoming a NATO member. This was the statement from our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, so this is our official position.”

Omagh Pride have now joined the growing list of Pride committees banning NI Executive parties. Waiting on confirmation through from Lurgan, Fermanagh, Mid Ulster and Belfast.

JUST DO IT ALREADY

Champagne corks were popping in Moscow after US President Donald Trump verbally flogged Ukraine and its leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday.

If you're a cis ally and you're *not* following this case... you should be. This woman is being harassed in a court of law, repeatedly misgendered & called a man to her face by an opposing lawyer. This is completely fine to the judge. I truly don't know how she copes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Imagine my surprise to see it's the same man who targeted Stonewall with BBC Radio Ulster who's writing this article (don't bother emailing my employer for slabbering about you on the internet David, they will ask "lol who are either of these people" then delete it)

And that's a wrap on Everybody's Talking About Jamie. What an unbelievable privilege and joy this has been x

This is great and should be echoed down south too. Sinn féin should not be allowed march at pride. www.thejournal.ie/pride-events...

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

I'm getting quite emotional thinking about our last show tomorrow night. I have loved every single second of this, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I have loved being Miss Loco Channel.

Don't think the quiet part has ever been louder than in the "Palestinian refugees accidentally allowed into Ukrainian refugee program" story

I genuinely believe that if Belfast Pride won't ban the executive parties, then queer orgs should pull out from participating in it.

Are you kidding me.

A "clear breach" of the refugee convention www.bbc.com/news/article...

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them. Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case. Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

lmao they're really fucking mad

Former UUP leader Doug Beattie deleting comments on his Facebook page calling out his hypocrisy for supporting mental health investment but demonising trans people. Wanker.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

The DUP when you ask them about the Irish language, abortion, same sex marriage trans rights, Brexit, cross-border cooperation and reconciliation:

It's not a ceasefire. Israel are still killing Palestinians. What this is is extortion.

We have begun to commission abortion services in Northern Ireland, BUT we still don’t have all the services in the regulations. For more information on abortion in Northern Ireland visit our website👇 https://buff.ly/3gx84p7

It will never not surprise me when I see homophobic comments under posts about gay, trans or queer characters in musicals or theatre... Like who do you think came up with the idea of musicals? Of drag? Of costuming and choreography and music? It was queer people. You can't have one without the other

Took a little dander round Dungannon Park yesterday

What's funny is a) he couldn't remember a woman who signed it and b) he thinks that she, the richest author of all time, should be impressed by Stoppard and Cleese. Getting them was a coup for HIM, cos he's a nobody, yet he thinks SHE should share his amazement, and pledge her undying loyalty for it
