🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🏳️‍⚧️

June 1st marks the beginning of Pride Month.

This month is a chance for us to reflect on the fight for equality, to celebrate the successes in that fight but also to appreciate and remember the sacrifices made by so many to get us to where we are today.

This month is a chance for us to educate about what it means to be LGBTQ+ and appreciate the richness which diversity brings to our communities and society as a whole.

This month is also a chance to raise awareness of the prejudices which LGBTQ+ people still face across the world and to renew our pledge to continue to fight for a safer, more equitable and kinder society for all.

And finally, this month is a chance to simply be proud of who we are.

Happy Pride Month everyone!

I recognise the latest draft guidance from the EHRC is deeply troubling and concerning for Trans, Nonbinary and Gender Nonconforming Folk.

There are a number of issues with the draft guidance that failure to consider that Trans+ folk are still protected under Equality legislation, the impracticalities of how it would be implemented and the risks to businesses of adopting discriminatory guidance. I don’t intend to rehearse those issues further as there are far more qualified folk than me already looking at it, and already publishing information. I’ll share that as and when I get it.

It is still draft guidance though. It only becomes statutory guidance if it doesn’t go challenged in parliament.

So this is my plea - contact your MPs, raise your concerns, make as much noise as you can so that it doesn’t go unchallenged. We have to speak up for Trans+ folk, and now is the time to do that!

If you’re affected by this news, or widespread media coverage, and would like to find support please check out the SwanScene app (link in bio) where you’ll find details in our directory.

SwanScene has, and will always, advocate for all of our community - especially Trans+ folk. I see you, I value you, I respect you and love you. That won’t change regardless of any guidance.

If you do want to talk, feel free to get in touch.

With love and solidarity,
Jamie
