LGBTIQA+ Greens Rwanda Refugee Statement
LGBTIQA+ Greens condemn the Government’s Rwanda refugee strategy. The UK Government has proposed plans to send refugees to Rwanda to have asylum claims processed. Flying refugees 4500 miles away, when they have already made dangerous journeys fleeing from war and persecution, is inhumane. We do not need a “migration and economic development partnership”: we need […]

LGBTIQA+ Greens response to EHRC statement on upcoming LGBTIQA+ legislation
Last week the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) released their response on the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) and so-called ‘conversion therapy’.

LGBTIQA+ Greens Statement on the High Court Puberty Blockers Ruling
We find the court ruling in the Judgment in the case of Keira Bell and Mrs A against The Tavistock Clinic and Portman NHS Trust highly troubling, as it puts young people’s healthcare in the hands of unqualified judges instead of being informed by doctors, the trans individual, and their parents/carers. Adding yet more unnecessary […]
