Martina Navratilova Creates The Lesbian Project

Tennis star Martina Navratilova founded a new lesbian rights group, The Lesbian Project. The non-profit is dedicated to the understanding and enhancement of lesbian lives in the U.K.

To mark the launch, Navratilova said, “At a time when lesbian rights in many countries are being eroded I am proud to be a patron of The Lesbian Project, an organization dedicated to the wellbeing of U.K.-based lesbians – a force for good.”

The organization was co-founded by Kathleen Stock, a former university professor who resigned after being targeted over her views on gender identity, and Julie Bindel, a feminist author. Stock previously received an OBE for her services to higher education from Queen Elizabeth II before stepping down.

HEATHER DUBROW’S YOUNGEST CHILD COMES OUT AS TRANS

For International Sons Day on Mar. 4, Heather Dubrow and her husband, Terry, announced that their youngest child has come out as transgender.

“It’s International Son’s Day! We love you, our youngest son, Ace.”

“I think there are many more issues to talk about for lesbians than just the issue of gender identity,” said Stock to BBC's Woman’s Hour.

Stock named some of these issues as a lack of academic research, funding, and gender identity culture wars. Stock said the project will not be a "single-issue group."

Dubrow shared this tribute for her 12-yearold via Instagram and revealed his name as Ace. Ace marks the third of four of the Dubrow children to identify as members of the LGBT community.

“Our job as parents is to give our kids a safe and supportive environment so they can grow up as healthy, happy, confident, independent humans,” Dubrow wrote. “Since Ace is a 12-year-old child, with a long life ahead of him - we will let him tell his own story someday if he chooses to do so. All we can say is Ace, we love you so much and we are proud to be your parents. Your brother and sisters love and support you, too."

After receiving mostly positive comments, Terry wrote back, “Thank you all for spreading the love.”
