@stormrobinson I'm a gay man and I'm queer so you really shouldn't assume you speak for all gay/LGBTQ+ people! We reclaimed the word, it was a slur, we took it back and we use it.

@EraicLyrios What I object to is straight men taking "inspiration" from Haring, i.e. making busy rhythmic space-filling patterns, with zero commentary and absolutely no queerness in sight.

@SVPhillimore I started to realise I was queer around 10 years old, through dreams, noticing things, feeling emotions. Under section 28 no positive role models were allowed so it was a very private, lonely process. But hey Sarah, you'd know more about it than every gay person.

When I was 19 an ex made a scene at my workspace and outed me, hacked my email and web logins, attacked me in the street and forced his way into my flat. When the police found out I was gay they laughed it off and said they couldn't do anything to help unless I was dead.

In the wake of the murders of four young, gay men, today I asked the Govt to launch an urgent public inquiry to consider if the Met police is institutionally homophobic. Three of these deaths were preventable were it not for police failures. Action must be taken.

@MajorPhilebrity This is pretty wild! And it's brave, powerful, honest, raw. But it's a wild ride too. It would be all these things if it was a quiet and teary monologue but the disjunct between content and presentation is a little dizzying at first. Glad this person is doing OK and sharing this.

Prince Charles called for action on the climate crisis and says he has spent 50 years "trying to raise awareness." Charles and his wife have a carbon footprint 96x higher than the average person — releasing 430+ tonnes of CO2 per year, mostly with private jets and helicopters.
