Justine Greening, the UK’s first openly gay female cabinet minister, has launched a brand new campaign called Tomorrow Tomorrow to ensure that LGBTQ+ venues can re-open once lockdown is over.
In a letter to the Minister for Women Equalities, Liz Truss, Greening called for the government to take two specific actions that will protect the venues that have been hit particularly hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
She wants the government to increase protections for existing LGBTQ+ venues by asking councils to monitor LGBTQ+ venues in their area, and to develop strategies to ensure the spaces are protected in the long-term.
