In relation to Heathcliff's race 'no need to be accurate... it's just a book' Just say you are yet another bunch of cowards who don't want to deal with the histories, legacies and realities of anti-Roma racism. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/au...

Birmingham stands AGAINST transphobia. Today and always. 1/

Image showing numerous protestors & allies holding various pride flags and signs; set against a green treescape. Some of the visible signs include messages stating 'trans rights are human rights'; 'segregation is not feminism'; 'this L is with the T' and 'if your views align with Trump, it's time for a rethink!'.
