🏳️‍🌈 GYWPride is proud to support a wonderful new publication — Bentley Girls Magazine!

We’re delighted to help spread the word about this beautiful new magazine created by the incredible Jocelyn St Clair — a place for real women, real stories, and real reinvention. And yes — that includes all women — trans women included, always 💛

What it’s all about:
✨ Reinvention, style, and finding your voice at any age
✨ Stories of courage, starting over, and becoming yourself
✨ Sustainable, thrifted fashion — looking fabulous without breaking the bank
✨ Real beauty coming from kindness, confidence, and who you are inside
✨ And a powerful message: your age is not a limit on your dreams

Jocelyn’s own journey is extraordinary — from her transition to walking out her front door for the first time, to becoming a global fashion influencer at 63, founding a women-led motor racing team, and building a life on her own terms. Her message? You don’t need permission to be yourself. That’s a message we at GYWPride stand for 100%

Read it here:
👉 bentleygirlsmagazine.com

Whether you’re looking for style inspiration, stories that lift you up, or a reminder that it’s never too late to begin again — this one’s for you. Go say hi! 💛

That's what it's always been about. Not recruitment, not conversion — just safety, belonging, and finding your people sooner. 💛

And if you cannot accept your child being LGBTQ+ — maybe you shouldn't have become a parent. 💔

Love is unconditional. Your child's identity is not a choice — it's who they are. They didn't come with a manual, but they definitely came with your heart. No one should ever have to earn their parents' love. 🏳️‍🌈

WE’VE WRITTEN TO THE BBC — HERE’S WHY, AND HOW YOU CAN TOO

Over recent months we’ve watched a worrying pattern unfold:

❌ I Kissed a Boy & I Kissed a Girl — cancelled
❌ RuPaul’s Drag Race UK — moved to a paid streaming platform
✏️ "Protect the Dolls" — edited out of Strictly Come Dancing
🎥 Now: a major 2-part documentary on J.K. Rowling has been commissioned

We pay our TV licence too. It feels like our stories are disposable, but the voices that harm our community get prime-time airtime. That doesn’t feel like public broadcasting — it feels like prejudice.

So we’ve written to the BBC to say this isn’t good enough. We’re asking for balance, fairness, and transparency. We deserve better.

YOU CAN TAKE ACTION TOO:

Sign the petition:
"Demand the BBC Fund Q***r Representation" — already 8,400+ signatures

📨 Contact the BBC directly:

- Online form: bbc.co.uk/complaints
- Email: [email protected]
- Post: BBC Audience Services, PO Box 5190, Belfast, BT1 7ZD

Speak up — share this post, tag the BBC, and let them know you see what’s happening. Together our voices are louder.

🎭 GEORGE & THE DRAG QUEEN

A new play from Pipeline Theatre

"A bittersweet, bonkers cake-mix of the epic and the outlandish, beaten together with the everyday, and the plain silly."

📅 Sunday 18th October · 7.30pm
📍 St George's Theatre, King Street, Great Yarmouth, NR30 2PG
💷 Tickets: £15 | Groups of 10 get 1 FREE ticket!

Book now: stgeorgestheatre.com/whats-on
📞 Box office: 01493 331484



📖 About the show

It's a village fête — bunting, cakes, giant vegetables… and wasps.

Meet George, a stand-in Grandpa, and Maddy, a stand-in Granddaughter — two first-aid volunteers getting the tent ready. Then there's Eliana Sultana, a Lebanese Drag Queen booked to host the raffle, getting changed in the corner.

Through one twist of fate, their stories weave together in surprising, funny, and moving ways. A story about compassion vs prejudice, fear vs connection, and how we find each other in the most unexpected places.

Pipeline Theatre is an award-winning Cornish company touring nationally since 2013.
