Attacks on trans folk in the media are reminiscent of the peak of the HIV/AIDS crisis in 1980s Britain. @PinkNews has never been needed more to counter this narrative, but COVID-19 is causing new challenges. That's why we're launching @MyPinkNews (1/5) https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/07/17/mypinknews-pinknews-membership-scheme-join-now-lgbt-media-benefits/
With @MyPinkNews, we're asking @PinkNews readers who can afford it, to contribute £50 a year, less than £1 a week. This will make sure that the majority of our content remains paywall-free for all users (2/5) https://www.pinknews.co.uk/mypinknews/
In exchange for the £50/ $65/ €65 membership fee, @MyPinkNews users will see less ads, invites to webinars, the ability to post comments, a first look at our investigations by email PLUS exclusive analysis like this great piece by @youngvulgarian (3/5) https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/07/17/marie-le-conte-trans-rights-feminism-transgender-transphobia-self-id-trade-unions-refugee-crisis/
We are also committing that as we gain members, we will use income generated from @MyPinkNews to fund more polling, more investigations and more articles written by a diverse range of journalists on @PinkNews (4/5) https://www.pinknews.co.uk/mypinknews/
Transphobes have been claiming that @PinkNews is funded by the CIA and MI6! They also claim we are about to go bust. This is all false, but we want to serve and stand-up for the LGBT+ community better, which we can do with @MyPinkNews. Join Us. (5/5) https://www.pinknews.co.uk/mypinknews/
Just a little addition: So gratified that so many people have joined @MyPinkNews already, just from this tweet as our ‘soft launch’. We properly start promoting it next week. If you haven’t joined yet please do! https://www.pinknews.co.uk/mypinknews/
