Bi people having been fighting for LG&T equality for decades – a response to @PhilipHensher

In seeing the title of Philip Hensher’s Guardian.com article about the recent LGBT Pride events in London: How the straight majority still silences gay people (21 July 2017), I was looking forward to a thoughtful discourse on how the voices of people marginalised in our society because of their sexual orientation are so often unheard because… Read More

Why today’s #LGBTQ+ #PrideinLondon is a day of mixed emotions for me and for many

Today is Pride in London, the United Kingdom’s largest gathering of Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, and Queer people together with their allies and friends and others whose life, love, or identity is marked in some way by difference. For me and for many it is a day of great celebration for the achievements of equality… Read More

It’s the start of the 2015 LGBT Pride season. Here’s a request from me to all of you who like to take photos of these events (especially if you’re a journalist).

Old people who are LGBTIQA belong at Pride

People of Colour who are LGBTIQA belong at Pride

Disabled people who are LGBTIQA belong at Pride

TAKE THEIR PHOTOS TOO!

Year after year, all I see are pics of white, cis gay men and lesbians, or white Drag Queens. Every bloody year!  We are out and proud and happy to be part of Pride. Please reflect that.  Pride shouldn’t just be pale and stale.

Transpose Halloween Edition.

I had the pleasure to perform at Transpose at their Hallowe’en edition.  I felt right at home as soon as I walked across the sticky floors of the University of London’s Student Union bar.  CN Lester had provided some sparkly vegan pumpkin cookies, which were yummy.  I met up with Sandra Alland, who I hadn’t seen in years, and Kat Gupta who is always fun and full of energy (plus they had a brilliant werewolf tee-shirt!)

The event started with some wonderful songs from CN Lester. 

I read a story about a singer who was born a woman but dresses like a man as part of their performance.  When they start living as a man, they find little in the way of acceptance until they start to embrace the fluid nature of themselves.

There was also a story with a great take on a kelpie; a re-imagining of the Little Mermaid, and a film and poetry readings that were brilliant.  Towards the end of the evening there was an auction to raise funds for TENI.  I had to leave before the band finished it all off, but I had a fab time.

Transpose was a fantastic night, and I am already looking forward to the next one in February 2014.
