DIVA Is a much loved magazine for LGBTQI women- We are about to celebrate our 300th issue! For all all those saying you will cancel your subscription or not buy it - NO ONE CARES- We are going nowhere - Quite simply we don’t want Transphobes reading our magazine!

We had our pre-launch meeting last night. The amount of positive energy and expertise in the room was truly inspiring! Please DM us if you want to join in our efforts. We have a mountain to climb but we will succeed!

@BBCWomansHour
How about hearing the view of an actual
#LGBT
parent or are you forgetting that many of us in the
#LGBT
community have children too?
This item discussed the parent protests against the teaching of LGBT sex education in English schools. We heard from a parent who disagrees with the policy & a Birmingham head teacher. Our earlier tweet didn't reflect the item & we have removed it.
Woke up to a barrage of insults this morning - for the avoidance of doubt quite simply
#LGBAlliance
is not inclusive. The
#LGBTQ
community are fighting for full
#LGBTQEquality
not separatism.
Another day another violent Homophobic attack. My heart bleeds for Charlie Graham who says she now accepts homophobia ‘As a fact of life’ This is outrageous.We should not live in fear, harsher sentences are needed for hate crimes.

campaign firmly launched today by
@AnthonyWatson
and many other leading Gay Role models. Congratulations to all the gay guys signing up to this campaign.
I stand shoulder to shoulder with the trans community. No community should be expected to withstand the personal and unyielding public scrutiny and demonisation of their existence. We must all call out transphobia where we find it.

On this day as we remember the hundreds within the Trans community (mainly women & women of colour) Who have been murdered simply because they are Trans. I am Proud to stand as a Trans Ally & vow to continue speaking up & out in Support of our Trans siblings

Dear
@waitrose
Is it store policy that the

community who receive homophobic, physical & verbal abuse whilst on your premises are just left on their own to fend for their safety, whilst the security stand silently by & let the perpetrator leave the store unchallenged?
Utterly disgusting from
@glinner
This is not the time to slag off
@stonewalluk
an organisation who has and still do fight so hard for
#LGBTQ
Equality. A little compassion for the two lesbians who were beaten up would have been nice.

I believe I am butch lesbian & one who has received literally thousands of toxic hate tweets because I believe in trans-inclusivity
Pls understand we should be working together as a community to fight Homophobia, Lesbophobia,Biphobia & Transphobia because together we are stronger
Remembering the persecution of the
#LGBTQ
community & the meaning of the symbol the Pink Triangle. Many LGBT organisations/ education/books were banned. This is precisely why we can’t stand back silently & watch as a third of Poland is declared an ‘LGBTQ- free-Zone’

Pet hate - Cis Gay Men citing ‘Lesbian Best Friends’ in order to speak on behalf of us. For the record

is for LGBTQI women & the Non Binary Community - so please don’t tell me what my Magazine is and is not because you are not actually the publisher. Thank you!
@LindaRiley8
Sexist homophobic bollocks!
Diva mag is a joke among my lesbian mates.
The idea that a so called lesbian magazine promotes the idea that lesbians can have a penis and men can compete against them is off the scale offensive.
So delighted for
