The UK government is getting rid of conversion therapy. Labour wants to, the king wants to, the C of E wants to, and because of the last part, enough Tories want to that it will happen.
So it doesn’t have similar problems when you have a queer child.
As unfortunate as that is, it is not in issue with my child. I know what I’m doing to keep her safe. I just don’t know enough about adjusting her to school.
That moment when I question what Q stands for. Lesbian Gay Bi ? Trans
I thought the Q was queer, which always seemed redundant, so I just took it to mean pans. Like LGBPT.
Yep, Q is Queer (also sometimes Questioning). It’s kind of a fuzzy category to define from the outside, but covers people who don’t consider themselves to fall within any of the other categories.
Non binary and other gender nonconforming folks will often identify as queer. So may people who challenge cis- or hetero-normativity, monamory, and other social norms around gender and sexuality (look into “Queer Theory”).

LGB is one thing, Q and T are another. There’s a reason it’s so often referred to as “TERF Island”.
Piss off, the UK is one of the safest places to be gay and to grow up gay in the world.
Absolutely - it’s a great place to be gay or lesbian, and presumably bi as well. Trans or gender nonconforming is another matter.

TERFs are absolutely a tiny but vocal minority. Most people couldn’t give a toss.
