Queer rights groups in the United Kingdom have called on the government to revoke the tax-exempt charity status of a gay organization devoted to the oppression of transgender people.
PinkNews reports the LGB Alliance won tax-exempt status last week from the Charity Commission for England and Wales, a government regulatory agency in charge of charity groups. The LGB Alliance defines its mission “as asserting the right of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men to define themselves as same-sex attracted,” and dedicates itself to blocking “attempts to introduce confusion between biological sex and the notion of gender.”

The granting of tax-exempt status to the LGB Alliance met with wide backlash. More than 50 queer rights charities have signed a letter urging the Charity Commission to revoke the group’s charity status immediately. The signatories include Pride organizers in London, Brighton, Exmouth, Warickshire, Oxford, Cornwall, Coventry, Northern Ireland and Portsmouth, Drag Queen Story Time UK, as well as a number of LGBTQ radio stations and various queer sexual health groups.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Our member Prides have always stood with the trans communities and always will,” the letter reads. “We will continue our ongoing fight for visibility, unity and equality for all. Trans rights are human rights. Together as one.”
Though the LGB Alliance has denied that it promotes anti-transgender views, the group has promoted conversion therapy for transgender people, supported anti-transgender legislation, and praised court decisions that would make it harder for transgender children to receive medical treatment. The group has also claimed that opposition to same-sex marriage is not homophobic, and accused transgender people of trying to erase gay people from existence. The group also has ties to alt-right fringe groups, including the Heritage Foundation which has long opposed LGBTQ equality.

Screw the “queer” community. It’s all about GLB erasure and they’re guilty of cultural appropriation and rewriting history to fulfill their political agenda.

They are terrified because they are losing control over the “community” which they have wielded for so long.

LOL at the “turncoat” reference in the headline. I am very happy and proud to be LGB and a “turncoat” to a fictitious, parasitic construct called “LGBT.”
“LGBT” was invented to create a false sense of obligation by LGB people to an external group, thus facilitating the expropriation of LGB captial and labor for the benefit of trans activism. “LGBT” is a mechanism to enforce uniformity of thought by LGB people about transgenderism. And the perfect illustration of this is the headline above.

Totally right
the LGB Alliance was formed by older gay and lesbian activists in the UK concerned at the sidelining of gay and lesbian issues plus the relentless promotion of woke homophobia (lesbians and gay men who say they are not into dating trans are called ‘genital fetishists) and anti-science and religious trans ideology (the “trans women are women, trans women are women” mantra)
And the assertion that children who are gender non-conforming are in the wrong bodies.
The resistance has started and will only grow in strength
whateverokok
Where do I sign up? A group that finally gets it right, perhaps? Nah, too good to be true.
