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
Yesterday was jam packed so just now getting time to share more pics with you lovelies :)

Hey folks
I'm looking for some small queer stores to buy pride stuff from
MUST be:
• small businesses / individuals who could REALLY do with the support.
• based in mainland UK, so stuff will arrive in time for pride events in July.
Boosts welcomed to get this to a wider audience

Words mean nothing if you're not willing to actually take a REAL stand against fanatical bigotry, Joe

ALERT
As more and more states explicitly target #Pride celebrations with unconstitutional bans that also endanger the sponsorships that power most Pride orgs ... I want us to prove that #PrideIsAProtest isn't just empty rhetoric nowadays.
We must reinvigorate the spirit of #queer people in the 70s and 80s who faced similar repression and marched anyway.
olikin vähän semmonen olo että väkkee oli ku pippoo.
