Our values

Here @notdefining we welcome everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, identity, ability or background. You do not have to be a member of the LGBTQ+ community and in fact many of our members do not identify with mainstream LGBTQ+ culture.

We are a space for sharing authentic perspectives and experiences, relating with and uplifting one another in the pursuit of greater understanding. We do not “debate” the validity of LGBTQ+ identities and we do not make assumptions about anybody’s identity.

Marginalised communities

We will always put the interests of Women, people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American and Middle Eastern descent, Trans and Gender Diverse communities, Disabled, Differently-abled and Neuro-diverse people, Indigenous, Lower Income and people from Minority Faith Backgrounds, first at @notdefining.

Political stance

We stand for equality, safety and respect for the LGBTQ+ community and stand against any individual or organisation which seeks to deny us our civil rights. This goes for our entire community particularly including our Trans and Intersex family.

We honour Pride as a protest and civil rights movement. We stand side by side with other movements around the world which stand for human dignity and equality in the face of brutality and oppression.
