Just as important as exposing haters and fighting hate is speaking up about the positives of the world we do want. We want a world where a street can have Muslims, Jews, Christians, Pagans, Hindus, Atheists, Sikhs and all other faiths living together in harmony. Where we can agree to have different view and perspectives […]
At Resisting Hate we have the pleasure of fighting all forms of discrimination in our attempt to make the world a better place for present and future generations. However, in doing this, there are times when we come across certain ghastly individuals like Philip Campion who just don’t seem willing to play a role in […]
The Westboro Baptist Church are a deeply homophobic organisation based in Kansas, USA. Their primary slogan is ‘God Hates Fags’ (which is an offensive term for a homosexual) and their modus operendi mainly involves picketing the funerals of high profile individuals with placards proclaiming their extremist views. They make no distinction between funerals of LGBT […]
At Resisting Hate we are very accustomed to discussing ‘isms’ and ‘phobias.’ Combating racism, homophobia and religious discrimination is a big part of what we do.

Since joining Twitter two years ago, I’ve had to put up with all kinds of abuse from TERFs – Trans-Exclusionary so-called Feminists. So I thought I’d write an A-to-Z of the nonsense they repeat day […]
Australians have voted YES for gay marriage! Yesterday the returned questionnaires were counted in Australia and the majority of people who returned their vote said they agreed with allowing gay people to marry one another. Now there are many studies which draw parallels between homo/transphobia and those who hold views which are racist or antisemitic/islamophobic […]
A Resisting Hate member discusses her challenges in coming out as Bisexual. I always knew I was attracted to women physically. I used to sneak my friend’s dad’s Playboy magazine in the bathroom but that was the 80s so it was NOT socially acceptable. I had fallen in love with men and had a very […]
