How about “NGLBTI”? “N” is for nudist. Isn’t nudity also an identity issue?

Why doesn’t the GLRL change its name to include gender diverse and transexual people?

Given the fact that the trans community suffers the most out of all sectors in of LGBTIQ community, it is such a shame that LGBTIQ organisations have completely ignored these very obvious health issues with the trans issues for a long.

The numbers of people in the trans community affected by severe anxiety & depression is most likely a lot higher than what is shown in this report and the reason why is because many trans people won’t have anything to do with any LGB based group. Ours are gender issues, not sexual orientation issues. So this is why the trans community has to reclaim the T to have these issues addressed. If we donlt then someone else will get the funding to tackle these issues this and the trans community won’t see a single cent.

Oh BobS, you poor dear, woe is you.

Name me a single right that has been denied to Christians as a direct, or indirect, result of the gay rights movement. Just one.

Oh dear Bob S and oh you poor Christians! But which Christians are those? ‘We’? There are so many brands aren’t there? You see Bob S, some Christians just can’t help poke their noses in other people’s business and that is the big difference between religious and non-religious people. I couldn’t give a stuff what you do with your religion on a Sunday or any other day of the week, but you religious ones want to interfere with HOW OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE THEIR LIVES! Also, we live in a secular state and religion should not interfere and has no right to interfere in the rights of other people. Sorry if you don’t recognise my relationship of 26 years, but I and my partner do! We are citizens, taxpayers and should have no more rights than your crowd does but we should have the ‘same’ EQUAL RIGHTS!

If discrimination is a significant cause, why dont bible believing christians have the same problem? As homosexuals have been gaining rights, we christians have been losing them.

Really interesting

Cant believe that 80% of participants had experienced at least one episode of intense anxiety in the last 12 months
