Today is the first day of LGBT History Month LGBT+ people have always been part of our societies, but often their stories are hidden and go untold. This month is an opportunity to celebrate those stories and continue to campaign for progress.

Today is #WorldAIDSDay. We have come a long way since the horrors of the 1980s, which triggered a wave of homophobia which has its echoes today. HIV is now routinely treatable and for the first time there is the prospect of a world without AIDS too. (1/2)

Thank you for this, @mariecgoldman, and to the dozens of @LibDems MPs who have already signed her letter. We've been hearing distressing accounts of this sort of exclusion happening already. The EHRC guidance needs to be rejected and rewritten if it's not good enough.

Today on Trans Day of Remembrance we remember those who have lost their lives to transphobic violence, and reflect on how we as a society can end this loss of life. Liberal Democrats will always stand up for the rights of everyone in the LGBT+ community.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It hits particularly hard this year - a powerful reminder of why we fight, and a moment to reflect on those no longer with us. May they rest in power.

This is a particularly timely Transgender Awareness Week. Thank you to all the trans members of @libdems - we see you, we appreciate you, and we're sorry for the grief you go through in the name of our party. We are hugely encouraged by the swell of support for you this year. 1/2

Today is the beginning of Trans Awareness Week. It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate trans people, acknowledge the challenges they face, and reflect on how we as a society can work together to improve trans people’s lives.

On Tuesday, we received an email from a Daily Mail journalist asking us to comment on the attempt by a trans-exclusionary group to change our party's rules. For the avoidance of doubt, or misrepresentation of our position, we reproduce our response in full here... 1/4

The ECHR is a British creation that protects all. It's shocking that other parties such as the Tories and Reform talk about leaving it, rewriting it or watering it down, Liberal Democrats stand firm

What is transmisogyny? 🧵 In a society with strict ideas about gender roles, the perception of trans women is shaped by patriarchal ideas about femininity.

Today we celebrate 12 years since the @LibDems passed the Same Sex Marriage Act, with some lovely photos of our married and engaged Plus members. Including our Chair, @CharleyHasted, who’s getting married in October, and our HVP, @Juvelad, who celebrates their 10th anniversary.

Until 2000, the Armed Forces had a ban on LGBT personnel, who could be discharged or face criminal prosecution. @JessBrownFuller has won action from the Government to speed up compensation for LGBT veterans who lost their jobs and were stripped of their pensions.

On International Non-Binary People’s Day, Liberal Democrats are proud to stand with and celebrate non-binary people in the UK and all around the world. We will keep fighting until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.

📣 Government Acts Following My Debate on LGBT Veterans Scheme 🇬🇧🌈 After leading a debate in Parliament yesterday on delays to the LGBT Veterans Financial Recognition Scheme, the Government has now announced plans to speed up its delivery. ✅ Almost doubling the number of staff handling applications ✅ Doubling the sittings of the Independent Panel for complex cases It was a privilege to welcome Liz Stead to Westminster for the debate. Liz was dismissed from the RAF in 1969 when letters from her girlfriend were discovered — a powerful reminder of the injustice so many faced. I’m pleased that the Veterans Minister has taken on board the concerns of veterans and campaigners. I hope these steps by the MOD will finally deliver the timely and fair resolution our veterans deserve.

Congrats to the volunteers at Highland Pride! Many across the LGBTQ+ community feel targeted and their rights threatened by divisive culture wars. While today was a lot of fun, it was also a show of strength. We must never stop fighting for everyone's rights to be who they are!

On the 7th of June, 1954, Alan Turing died. He was discovered the following day. His birthday would have been the 23rd of June. He had opted for chemical castration following his conviction for homsexuality and indecency. Now, of course, we celebrate June as Pride Month. 1/3
