The LGB Alliance triggered a backlash on Monday after sharing a tweet “in solidarity with LGB people” to honour victims of a mass shooting that killed five people, two of whom were trans.

The tweet by the controversial British charity – omitting the letter ‘T’ from the widely recognised ‘LGBT’ label (lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans) – was posted after a deadly attack at Colorado’s Club Q.

It sparked widespread criticism, including from gay and lesbian cisgender people who said the group did not represent them.
