In April 2021, the Charity Commission, which registers and regulates charities in England and Wales, confirmed that the organisation had been approved onto the register as their purposes fall within the legal definition of charity.
According to gov.uk, there were “a number of objections to the registration of LGBA as a charity” that the Commission took into careful consideration, including a petition that has garnered over 35,000 signatures.
The LGB Alliance, which rose to prominence in 2020, has continuously used its platform to “assert the rights of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men to define themselves as same-sex attracted” while excluding trans individuals.
