my Queer identity and the character was moulded around that once I had been cast. Sah wasn’t non-binary until I came along, which goes to show that Casualty weren’t just ticking a diversity box when they hired a non-binary actor, which is super affirming. In my head, Sah’s gender identity isn’t as solid or realised as mine is, probably because they just haven’t had the time or brainspace to consider or explore it more than they already have.

here My work was going well, I knew I warranted stepping onto the lowest rung of the judicial ladder by being appointed an assistant Recorder. However, I was summoned to see the then Lord Chancellor’s officials to be told that Lord Chancellor Baron Hailsham would never appoint me, a gay man, to sit as a judge at any level.  I left the meeting crestfallen, but I was cheered by the indication that although I was apparently unsuitable to sit as a judge I could still be considered for Silk.  After more years of endless paperwork, and trial upon trial as a junior barrister, I rather fancied the more measured life of a QC.  With fewer but bigger cases, I looked forward to the financial security that evades most juniors, especially those working in the publicly funded sector.  Wrong again!  Although by that time I unquestionably had a practice deserving of Silk, I was blocked by an influential senior judge whose ‘over my dead body’ attitude prevailed over civil servants. It was now 1993. Lord MacKay, by then Lord Chancellor, was entirely oblivious of what was going on behind his back and has always treated me with courtesy and fairness.  At the time, I could have continued in the ever demanding life of a junior - behind on paperwork, juggling court diaries, and being shamed by self-regarding judges if a minute late.  Fortunately I had an ally.

Priscilla, and the rest is queer history!While this movie probably inspired the previous film, another camp classic about three queer performers traveling across the country should always be added to the list. This film has long been regarded as a queer classic, making this a wonderful addition to your watch list.The film is free to stream on Pluto TV.When this film was released, the girls, gays, and theys were never the same!Based on Patricia Highsmith's 1952 novel The Price of Salt, notable for being one of the few queer novels to feature a happy ending (something that was taboo in publishing at the time), this 2015 adaptation by director Todd Haynes is an unequivocal queer masterpiece.When shop-girl Therese meets a soon-to-be-divorced Carol, her life is flung out of order, and what follows is one of the best queer romance films of all time.

The Telegraph a Tory attendee was struck on the head by one of the mob.Prior to Mr Zahawi’s attendance, Warwick Pride issued a statement accusing him of playing a ‘significant role in institutional transphobia’.They said he was guilty of using a ‘transphobic dog-whistle’ by defining a woman as an ‘adult human female’.The group encouraged its supporters to buy up tickets to the talk and said it was ‘ludicrous’ to suggest he ‘does not incite hatred’.A statement issued before the protest also pointed to Mr Zahawi’s support for Kathleen Stock, an academic who resigned from the University of Sussex amid protests over her views on gender identification.Warwick Pride said its activists were attending with the ‘intention to ask Zahawi questions concerning the rights of trans people in the UK’, adding that it did not condone violence.But supporters turned up with placards and flags, with one chanting through a microphone.The government unveiled a new law which it says will protect freedom of speech in British universities, including provision to stop speakers being ‘no-platformed’.Ministers and some academics warn there is a ‘chilling effect’ of UK campuses dictated by a vocal minority of students, with the government pointing to a Policy Exchange survey which found a third of lecturers with centre-right politics feel they have to self-censor their views at work.Responding to the Warwick incident, an education department spokesperson said the incident ‘proves’ the need for the bill, calling it ‘more evidence against those who say there is no such thing as a chilling culture on campus’.A spokesperson for the University of Warwick Conservative Association told The Telegraph: ‘The anger and hatred aimed at us that evening only

Views expressed in The Advocate’s opinion articles are those of the writers and do not necessarily represent the views of The Advocate or our parent company, Pride Media.During Pride Month, we celebrate our stories: stories of our elders who fought so hard to realize the progress many never got to see, stories of our chosen families, our own stories of coming out, of falling in love, of finding healing in community. As the interim president of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, I get to hear so many powerful stories directly from folks in our community. And this Pride Month, I need you to hear these stories as well: stories of trans and nonbinary children, their families, and millions of LGBTQ+ people whose rights and lives — right now — are under attack. Every school day, a mother in Texas helps get her young trans daughter ready for school.
