Gay nya-ight folks

We've prepared as much as we can in advance for tomorrow and painted our nails (complete with bottom and top coats!), so feeling pretty proud.

Alarm is set for 06:45 BST (UTC+1) in order to ensure we get to the station in plenty of time to get our train just after 08:00.

Very much looking forward to London Trans+ Pride tomorrow, partly to be around so many other trans folk and protest, but also to see many fedi friends for the first time and to catch up with other friends we haven't seen in yonks

Thank you to the Daily Echo and journalist Jose Ramos for capturing our protest march through Southampton yesterday, read their full article here: https://buff.ly/3W43hl8

More photos will be too follow soon!

Today is the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York, where a police raid-turned police harassment galvanized a downtrodden community to stand up to what they had put up with for so long. This uprising was the start of Pride demonstrations that continue to be practiced all over the world.

Pride is a protest, and it will always stay that way.
Join us at Trans Pride Southampton tomorrow, where Pride is always a protest.

Pride Month isn't over yet, so why not listen to this excellent podcast from
@workingclasshistory on the history of the Stonewall rebellion?

"Summer 2019 marks 50 years since the iconic rebellion against the police raid of the Stonewall Inn in New York City. The LGBT+ patrons and locals, many of them people of colour, and most of them working class, fought back against the police in 6 days of rioting. Then they organised, revolutionising the LGBT+ rights movement, and sparking Pride.

In honour of Pride month, WCH are releasing a series of episodes about LGBT+ history. We begin with a double episode telling the story of the Stonewall rebellion, in the words of participants.

After the rebellion, participants in it, along with others, set up the Gay Liberation Front, and then organised a protest on its first anniversary, 28 June 1970, which became Pride."

The fact that the Tories think the first week of #Pride is a good time to launch a Transphobic (& Homophobic, as it will impact many cis women whose gender expression is not classically feminine) policy shows exactly why #PrideIsAProtest
