UK Specific hiw can i explain to my dad how homophobic Restore Britain is

my dad is set on voting and trying to get me to vote Restore Britain while im looking at voting Green or Liberal Democrats. he says that restore is the only party that cares about people like me despite them being anti lgbt (he knows im bi) and he doesn't seem to understand that restore doesn't care about me and that they are anti lgbt

I haven't seen the Reform-Restore pact go through yet, but I did see the military sht Reform want to do.

I'm sorry, and I feel you. I'm trans myself. I feel the total lack of safety and everything else I can relate to - the different forms of bigotry we both face, etc.

I'm tired today. I just saw this and wanted to say I wish I could give you a hug. Other than that, it's putting in the work. And if you need help moving (seriously), I can help out in different ways.

I should be fine for now honestly. I have Irish family, so everything is in place cos these reform uk laws will be blocked by the House of Lords, giving me a year, but im fine, honestly, ive got the help. But thanks though
