Galop’s statement on the leaked government proposal to make anti-LGBT+ hate crimes “aggravated offences”
We welcome the leaked proposal which indicates the Home Office’s recommendation to make crimes motivated by hate towards LGBT+ and disabled people equal to hate crimes motivated by religious and racial prejudice – something Galop has long called for.
Galop’s statement on Meta’s updated Hateful Content policy
It is dangerous for Meta to normalise and essentially endorse anti-LGBT+ speech. We’re calling on Ofcom to prioritise implementing the Online Safety Act’s content controls, and to take action as soon as possible.
Statement in response to the continued criminal ban on puberty blockers
As LGBTQ+ sector organisations, we are deeply disappointed that the UK Government has decided to continue criminalising the prescription of puberty suppressing medicines for trans children and young people outside of a proposed NHS research study.
