It looks like the government is making another U turn on LGBTQ+ rights. According to The Sunday Times, the applauded Gender Recognition Act (GRA) is off the table as it seems ministers are looking to drop the reform.
Yesterday, Stonewall published an online thread acknowledging the speculation around the fate of the act. The LGBTQ+ charity tweeted: “There’s more rumours in today’s papers that the Government may drop plans to meaningfully reform the Gender Recognition Act.
Even though the majority of the public support introducing a simplified process for trans people to get legal recognition of their gender.” This statement was followed by a call for action by the government declaring that “Trans people have waited too long for equality”.
