To celebrate the end of Trans Joy Week, we wanted to share something that not everyone might be aware of. A few weeks ago a number of Gender Critical activists came to Cardiff and we wanted to show that Cardiff is an affirming, proud and inclusive city

*TW transphobia* We’re disheartened to share that this was posted on our wall tonight whilst such a joyful comedy event was happening. We wouldn’t normally post something like this on social media but we feel it’s important to share such brazenly hateful behaviour.

We’re delighted to mark the start of #lgbthistorymonth by launching our Community Program! This is a new part of our events program that is more intimate and lower cost (mostly free and always under £5). Look out for what we have coming up over the next few weeks! #lgbt #lgbthm

🚨 #Cardiff Are you excited about our street cafe? We’re excited about our street cafe! We need benches and tables like the ones pictured- can anyone help before we spend an eye watering amount on them? We also need barriers if anyone has some knocking around!

Since it is Pride Month, we were thinking it would be lovely if some big brands wanted to support us? We need a tablet ( @Apple ?) for our till, we need street furniture for our upcoming street cafe ( @IKEAUKSupport want to help out?) and some barriers ( @BandQ ?). Tag more below!

“There's no such things as 'gender ideology', only some human beings trying to live mostly ordinary lives despite a mountain of unreasonable hatred” @alisapower 👏👏👏

Ms Lent told me that 'gender ideology' is 'homophobic' and 'anti-lesbian' and that people experiencing gender dysphoria 'need counselling' @WelshLabour @cardiffcouncil
