admin, , , ,

The UK’s highest court has rejected the government’s plans to deport people seeking asylum to Rwanda, much to the relief of LGBTQIA+ rights campaigners, organisations and charities. The country’s dire track record on human rights, especially in relation to LGBTQIA+ people, resulted in widespread condemnation of the policy as soon as it was announced in April 2022. These ultimately factored into the Supreme Court ruling it unlawful earlier today, with its past treatment of refugees also cited in the decision. “The evidence shows that there are substantial grounds for believing…

admin, , , ,

Sam Smith has sent an inspiring message to their LGBTQIA+ fans amid the rise of anti-trans hate in the UK. Over the last few days, conservative politicians have ruthlessly targeted the trans and non-binary community with hateful rhetoric.
