With the Supreme court ruling we as a LGBT+ organization we stand in solidarity with trans, intersex and non-binary people as we all begin to navigate what this means. The Supreme Court reaffirmed that trans people are protected under Equality act 2010 from discrimination on the basis of Gender Reassignment and that protection remains in place but we will never stop working towards equality, dignity and rights for all LGBT+ people.
if your in need of support during this time we have some hotlines to contact under LGBT+ organisations tab.
