LGBTQ+ advisors Jayne Ozanne, James Morton and Ellen Murray have resigned amid allegations that the UK government body is becoming increasingly anti-LGBTQ+.
Ozanne was the first to announce her resignation, telling ITV News: “I’ve been increasingly concerned about what is seen to be a hostile environment for LGBTQ+ people among this administration.
Over the years which the advisory panel has met, we’ve seen an increasing lack of engagement and the actions of ministers have frankly been against our advice.”Murray quit her position shortly after, also accusing the government of “hostility” towards LGBTQ+ people.
The string of of resignations came after parliament discussed the possibility of banning LGBTQ+ conversion therapy, with March 28 ma.

The LGBTQ Victory Institute, which advocated for Wong’s nomination and confirmation, issued a laudatory statement Tuesday.
