About our LGBTQ+ news
Latest news on LGBTQ+ issues, providing comprehensive coverage of rights, equality, Pride events, policy changes, and community stories from the UK and around the world for the queer community.
LGBTQ+ news encompasses a wide range of topics affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other gender and sexual minorities. The global landscape for LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance continues to evolve, with significant progress in some areas and ongoing challenges in others. According to recent surveys, an estimated 5-10% of the UK population identifies as LGBTQ+, highlighting the importance of inclusive coverage and representation.
Recent developments include the passage of new anti-discrimination laws in several countries, as well as ongoing debates surrounding transgender rights and gender-affirming healthcare. In the UK, discussions continue about reforming the Gender Recognition Act and improving access to support services for LGBTQ+ youth. Internationally, organisations like Stonewall and ILGA (International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association) continue to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and monitor global progress.
Beyond policy and legislation, our coverage highlights the vibrant LGBTQ+ culture and community initiatives. From Pride celebrations in major cities like London, Manchester, and Brighton to grassroots events in smaller towns, we showcase the diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. We also feature stories of individual triumphs, such as coming out experiences, LGBTQ+ athletes breaking barriers in sports, and queer artists making waves in the entertainment industry.
The struggle for LGBTQ+ rights has a long and complex history, from the decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales in 1967 to the legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2014. Our coverage explores how this history informs current debates and shapes the ongoing fight for equality. We also examine how intersectionality plays a crucial role in understanding the diverse experiences within the LGBTQ+ community.
