Section 28 was a particularly huge victory – the law had banned teachers and staff from ‘promoting’ being gay or bisexual at school.
They have also made great strides in terms of marriage equality, adoption and anti-discrimination laws for gay men, lesbians and bisexuals.In 2015, Stonewall expanded its remit to become transgender inclusive, and started mainstreaming trans rights and inclusion into all areas of their work.
For the transgender community this decision was greatly significant. I started living in the UK in 2016, and have worked for Stonewall on a number of projects, including their Come Out For Trans Equality campaign, and I have contributed to their valuable resources, such as advice on how to be an ally to non-binary.
