Today is 20 years since @UKLabour repealed Section 28 in England and Wales.
Our patron, @angelaeagle, reflects on the progress made in the fight for LGBT+ rights, and the long journey still ahead.

LGBT+ Labour
@LGBTLabour
- For 30 yrs Canterbury had a Tory MP that voted no to all LGBT rights. Now they've a Labour MP that 2 days after being elected goes to Pride!
- It is with great sadness that we have decided to put out this Statement on Rosie Duffield. Solidarity, always, with our trans members, and the trans community.
- We are sending solidarity to the members of Rosie Duffield’s staff who have resigned over transphobia. It takes incredible bravery to take this step, and it is wrong that they have been put in a position where it is necessary. We offer them our solidarity and our support.
- We’ve been made aware that Rosie Duffield MP has once again endorsed homophobic & transphobic content online. We will be raising this with the party today. We continue to urge them to take strong & decisive action against anyone who seeks to discriminate against LGBT+ people.
- We’re incredibly disappointed in Anneliese Dodd’s decision to meet with the LGB Alliance, a fringe group which undermines our fight for LGBT+ equality. (1/2)
- Our full statement in light of comments today from a Shadow Cabinet Member that attempt to justify Keir Starmer's visit to Jesus House. The video should be deleted and a public apology made by the Leader himself. We also expect him to attend our meeting with his team this week.
- We are calling for the whip to be removed from Rosie Duffield MP and have a submitted a formal complaint to the party about her conduct. @UKLabour must show zero tolerance towards homophobia and transphobia, including from its own MPs.
- Our position on this has not changed 👇We are calling for the whip to be removed from Rosie Duffield MP and have a submitted a formal complaint to the party about her conduct. @UKLabour must show zero tolerance towards homophobia and transphobia, including from its own MPs. labourlist.org/2021/07/withdr…
- Today we marched at #PrideInLondon with @Keir_Starmer - the first Labour leader to ever march with us, alongside @SadiqKhan, @AngelaRayner, our members, supporters, activists, and parliamentarians. History was made today. Happy Pride everyone!
