LGB Alliance founder Allison Bailey loses lawsuit against Stonewall

admin, , , ,

Allison Bailey has won her employment tribunal case against Garden Court Chambers and lost her Stonewall lawsuit. The lesbian defence barrister, who co-founded the anti-trans hate group LGB Alliance, accused Garden Court Chambers of withholding work from her after she criticised the charity’s Diversity Champions scheme, which ensures that all LGBTQ+ people are free to be themselves in the workplace.

admin, , , ,

Veterans of the UK’s first Pride march celebrated the 50th anniversary by retracing the exact route that was walked in 1972. Well over a thousand people met at the steps of St Martins-in-the-Field church on Charing Cross Road before walking through Oxford Street to Hyde Park. Ted Brown, one of the organisers of the UK’s first official Gay Pride, told GAY TIMES he felt “a strong sense of achievement” as he marched once again in 2022. “We now have civil partnerships, we have gay marriage, we have legal protection, and…

Queen expected to confirm ‘conversion therapy’ ban in speech – but not for trans people

admin, , , ,

Queen Elizabeth II is expected to give an update on banning ‘conversion therapy’ during her annual speech at the state opening of parliament.

A review into LGBTQ+ human rights has highlighted the “serious damage” caused by “anti-trans rhetoric” in the UK. ILGA-Europe, an independent European organisation advocating for LGBTQ+ people, published its Annual Review into the community’s rights on 15 February.

admin, , , ,

Activists are questioning whether or not the UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is “truly fit for purpose” after it suggested a “differentiated approach” to a trans conversion therapy ban. In a report published on 26 January in response to the UK government’s plans to legislate a conversion therapy ban, the human rights watchdog said the consultation does not “address the possible need to consider a differentiated approach in relation to sexual orientation and being transgender so as to ensure, in particular, that clinicians and therapists are not prohibited…
