In this episode of The Lipsticks Podcast, we take a look at four popular social media platforms to find out which are the most LGBTQ+ friendly! 

We discuss the recent news of the inclusion of a question on gender for the first time in the UK census, which has been welcomed as a "good first step" by some in the transgender community 👏

This weeks Spotlight feature celebrates the return of Manchester Pride (yay for lockdown ending!) which is one of the UK's leading LGBTQ+ charities. Their vision is a world where LGBTQ+ people are free to live and love without prejudice. Offering a weekend of celebrating queerness, which will be taking place over August bank holiday weekend!

Spoiler alert! This podcast may contact traces of giggling, northern accents, sarcasm and gay references.
