    What, if anything, has the LGB Alliance actually done to benefit LGB people?

      I've actually looked into this - as far as I can tell, it's basically nothing. They're actually pro-conversion therapy, as long as it's not "coercive", which is pretty fucked.

        The LGB Alliance is nothing more than a Conservative think-tank backed astroturfing campaign, IMO.

          Ah, OK. So they're pretty much what they appear to be. As far as I can see on Twitter, mentions of them tend to be descended upon a bunch of followers throwing around "misogynist", "homophobe" and "no u"-style accusations against trans people like they were going out of style - or are just read from the same sheet. They're also fans of co-opting suffragette and genderqueer colours and invoking The Handmaid's Tale to signal victimhood. Mmm, clearly a deep and classy buncha peeps!
