Did you know Elphaba was originally intersex and it was erased in the musical and movie. Unfortunately we have very little rep, most people don't even know we exist...this could have been huge for us and a perfect way to raise awareness about the issues we face. #intersex #wicked #lgbt

Blimey, a 1977 episode of the Minstrels has turned up. Complete with Keith Harris going through the bottom of the barrel and opening a portal to hell. Which in the terms of this show is quite an achievement. This is spectacularly offensive and wrong. Again this is 1977! 1977! youtu.be/0h4PUGy5t7E

The last time he did this, then as now without the permission of Wally K Daly/the Daly Estate, the Society of Authors had a word with BBC Worldwide about his activities and that's part of the reason why he's now persona non grata at WW.

I hate more than I can ever say that my wife has been dragged into this Amerikkan transphobic pogrom. Nic is incredible at their job, and does actual good for so many people on a daily basis, and they're having to give it all up to keep us together.
