We launched #HonestChurch in Aug 22 to encourage greater honesty about the true welcome that LGBTQ+ people receive in a church. The campaign has grown since then, but the aim remains the same: empower students to find a church where they can thrive, & ask churches to be honest about their beliefs 💒

In 2023, we ran the #LookForTheFruit campaign alongside the November General Synod meeting of the Church of England. We wanted to show that through the fruits of the spirit we can know that God is already blessing gay relationships, and that it was time for the Church of England to catch up ✨

A member of the Trans* Rights Campaign group received this reply from their Labour MP about the extension of the ban on puberty blockers (see below). It's undoubtedly a disappointing and distressing decision from the Labour Government, but it's good to know there are MPs out there who get it 🏳️‍⚧️

The older I get the less I'm interested in what feminist books a man has read or can summarize. I care much more about everyday stuff like whether or not he does his share of the housework. Theory is useless if its never put into practice.
