The Weekly Beacon

June 20, 2026, Trans Joy, Resilience & Community Power

Welcome, friends and allies. We're here to hold space for hard truths and quiet victories that the headlines miss.

⚖️ Standing Our Ground: The EHRC and Our Collective Voice

This week, 146 MPs signed a motion against the EHRC's Draft Code of Practice, which would restrict trans access to services. Groups like the Centre for Mental Health stand with us. This solidarity shows that every voice counts.

What you can do: Write to your MP urging them to oppose the EHRC Draft Code. Share your story with friends, family, and on social media. Reach out to local organisations and ask them to publicly support trans access to services. Together, we keep building momentum.

🌈 Community Spotlight: Grassroots in Full Bloom

Pride Month is buzzing! The Colours of the Gate fanzine raises funds for key groups. The Good Law Project organises legal defence. Support by buying, donating, or sharing.

And remember, WellBe's parents are speaking out about the fear public hostility creates for trans families. To Sophie, and to every parent, sibling, and friend standing with us: we see your love. Thank you.

🕊️ Honouring Brianna Ghey

We hold Brianna Ghey's memory close. Her life mattered. Her murder was an act of transphobic violence. We honour her by living openly, loving fiercely, and protecting each other.

🔭 Looking Ahead

We're watching the parliamentary fight over the EHRC Code and decisions on healthcare and legal recognition. In the US, a judge blocked Idaho's bathroom ban. Global solidarity endures.

✨ Final Thought

Resilience isn't pretending things are fine. It's showing up for each other, our joy, and our future. Each time you raise your voice or support, you help build a better world.

You belong here. You are loved. And we are not going anywhere.

With warmth and defiance,
