ATTN: UK Peeps

(Originally written by paulnolan, I'm just spreading it.)

I just received a rather alarming message from Trans Menace UK, a trans activism group on Facebook. Apparently the government are consulting on scrapping the Equality Act. Without this law in place, firing people based on their gender, race, sexuality, trans status or disabilities is fine, among other things. And given the way they're framing it as "Red Tape", and that The Sun and The Daily Mail, two papers that are vehemently opposed to "Yooman Rights" are among the most read in the country yeah... we're in trouble.

The Tories may be scum, but even I didn't think they would go this far.

If you're in the UK, here is a link to the consultation so you can voice your displeasure. We can't let this happen."
