Bristol is probably the LGBTQ capital of the UK though so not necessarily the best marker. Especially after that ruling by the Scottish courts that trans women aren't women.
The UK is a little behind on our rise to fascism compared to the US but it seems like we're trying hard to catch up. We're mostly focused on imagrents at the minute from the looks of the national press (which I largely avoid for my sanity).
I'm glad at least some places here are still somewhat sensible and kind to each other.
