So close now!
The Trans Pride Centre – the UK’s only trans-focused center run by trans people – will have to close its doors for good unless it raises £27,500 to keep it open to provide vital support services for the trans and non-binary community.

Please, spread the word in any way you can!

Today it’s Our Flag Means Death, but what is it tomorrow?
What’s the next show to get abruptly axed?
Great shows facing cancellation after a season or two is a trend that's becoming too common. We’re calling on networks to commit to what they started and #FinishOurStories
In the last few months, many beloved shows have been canceled after two seasons— Shadow & Bone, Julia, Rap Sh!t, Minx, Schmigadoon! — and Our Flag Means Death.
You wouldn’t start a book or movie if it wasn’t already complete— why does television have to settle for uncertainty?
As people are pointing out, “we are under attack.”
And for what? It can’t only be money, or studios would be thinking long-term about how viewers prefer finished products. But we only see short-term thinking. They had to realize that there would come a tipping point.
This is it.

Where would we be without stories? Without that world to escape into — a world where we can find ourselves.
As Terry Pratchett wrote: “Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.”
If you don’t understand that, why are you in the business of storytelling?
Rethink these choices. Renew that show. Commit to what you started. #FinishOurStories

Seeing a few "those MEDIA ILLITERATE CHILDREN still INSIST that the finale was BURY YOUR GAYS" floating around.
I'm happy to break down my reasoning:
David Jenkin's post-finale interviews all make clear that Izzy's death was decided upon - even if only by David himself - at a very early stage.
Having established that Izzy would die, the writing team then chose to give him an explicitly queer narrative arc of self-discovery and joy, one they knew was going to end in a painful death.
They gave no other characters that strikingly queer arc of self-acceptance and expression - just the one they'd already decided to bury by the end. There were other queer characters, in queer relationships, but they didn't get queer arcs. (A character arc is the transformation or inner journey of a character over the course of a story. Being queer is not itself an arc; for example, Lucius's arc was about overcoming trauma. A character can be queer without a queer arc.)
The only character who did get a queer arc also got a grave.
You should be concerned by this choice from a writing team, especially if you are queer.
You should not be belittling the people who are voicing their concern.
As a side note, I was born in the 1980s. I grew up in the UK under Section 28. For what it's worth, I also have a first in English Literature. I've been suffering terrible media representation of gay people my whole life, and when I see it in a show which made a point of encouraging gay fans to feel safe and seen and respected, I'm going to point at it and scream very loudly.
