Internecine strife

Peter Tatchell is revolting.

LGB Alliance has negligible support among LGBTs

It’s goal is to split the LGBT+ community, turn LGBs against trans people & oppose trans inclusion & equality

It does very little work to promote LGB rights. It’s promised LGB helpline has never happened

#Mermaids does great work

Mermaids ruins children’s lives.

    It’s promised LGB helpline has never happened

    I wonder if that has anything to do with much of their resources being poured into funding spurious legal actions brought against them…

    Far as I can tell, a grant was awarded in early-to-mid-2022 to start up the helpline. I don’t know how long it takes to arrange such a thing, but committees gonna committee so it would seem premature to me to claim a year later after receiving funding that a planned hotline “never happened”.

    It’s [sic] promised LGB helpline has never happened

    And why is that? Oh, right. From the Guardian article linked elsewhere:

    “Our legal fees amount to more than £250K and that money has come from small supporter donations. So, while our win is great news for lesbians, gay men and bisexuals, we can’t help but reflect on the fact that a sum like that would have been better spent on projects such as our helpline for young people.”

    So, yeah….

    Very like the conservatives of the 80’s spending all their effort to reduce funding for poverty programs so that they would fail, and then crowing over the failures.

    @Mike,

    Indeed, and they keep doing it (witness the defunding of the IRS).

    That’s the one.

    I’ve always found it interesting that cruising is a thing men like to do but not a thing women like to do. Funny how that works.
