LGBT = Lets Glorify Beloved Trans.

Thanks for being such a nerd, my love.

You're wonderful. I am never associating with those LGB erasing pos.

I'm surprised bisexual was mentioned more than gay or lesbian. I wonder if this is because, in their view, bisexual is the "correct" sexuality, since they think bi people have "no excuse" to exclude trans people...

Well, there few times "lesbian and bisexual women" and "gay and bisexual men". So I suppose more mentions because there bi men and women, so it is twice as much.

Interesting that neither pansexuality nor asexuality were mentioned. Even though Stonewall last few montsh all about "asexual people are so repressed". But Stonewall reports are from June to June, so maybe in next report they will be mentioned?

Shut them down. Shut them all down unless you want all of our hard earned gains to be reversed.

These orgs have NO BUSINESS representing ANYONE.

The problem is, these organizations now get regular contributions from big corporations that simply hand them the money with little oversight of their mission, so these LGBTQ+ orgs are no longer beholden to the constituencies they claim to represent. The real point of these organizations is to continue to support a small class of professional activists, so they feel they need to be seen on "the cutting edge," and transgender is now that cutting edge.

I'm old enough to remember when Gay & Lesbian organizations were grassroots and were supported by donations from lesbians and gay men. Back then, we had control because we could withhold our contributions. At present, they don't care about what we think.

Just like LGB Alliance today.

And lesbians were underground - just like we are nowadays again.

Full circle of homophobia, we are back in 60-70s.

Did you look at the schedule for that Stonewall/Diva event? Most of them have nothing to do with being a lesbian. I'm curious how many more times queer is mentioned than lesbian. There's a "women inclusion in sports" panel, which in sure will be entirely about transwomen. There's even a panel about intersex...

It's lovely to see all of the comments calling out Stonewall. Oh, and they even tagged the wrong Twitter handle. 😂

I saw today Stonewall today mocking lesbians in their post on Twitter, and that made me angry, so I decided to make this post here.

Their post: https://twitter.com/stonewalluk/status/1381260798727716866

Thought that tweet needed a comprehensive archive and archive.today and the Wayback Machine only ever capture the first few, so here's a manual archive of the entire thing as it appeared to me a few minutes ago:

They're getting ratio-ed nice and hard, which is easier to see in the full archive. Not that they care.

Just for fun I decided to see if archive.today would grab that and it did get most of it, but the imgur link is the only complete one:
