🏳️⚧️ An Open Letter to Our LGBTQ+ Communities 🏳️🌈
The latest EHRC guidance has caused real fear, uncertainty and hurt for many trans and non-binary people. This letter is signed by LGBTQ+ organisations across Brighton, Hove and Sussex, united in one collective message that transphobia has no place here.
To trans and non-binary folks: we see you, we value you and we are glad you are here.
To our allies: now is the time to stand up, not step back. Share this letter, challenge misinformations and help create safer spaces.
If you’re feeling frightened, angry or exhausted right now, you are not alone. Local LGBTQ+ organisations are here for you. Reach out.
