Five new patrons have been recruited by LGBTQ+ human rights charity the Kaleidoscope Trust to amplify its work across the Commonwealth.
Since being founded in 2011, the charity has worked tirelessly to advance equality globally by assisting in the addition of protective laws and policies for queer people.
It has also fought for the repeal of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that exists in more than half of the countries in the Commonwealth. “The fact of the matter is: Britain must take responsibility for its anti-LGBT+ colonial legacy, and Kaleidoscope Trust is committed to ensuring that our LGBT+ siblings across the Commonwealth are meaningfully supported in living with the freedom, safety, equality and rights they are entitled to,” said Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, the executive director of the Kaleidoscope Trust.
Now, Munroe Bergdorf, Michael Gunning, Kyle De’Volle, Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black will work to raise awareness and funds for this important work.
