Britain’s University of Law warns LGBT+ people will be more vulnerable to abuse or discrimination after Brexit. The UK is still under EU law until the end of the transition period on 31 December this year.

The University of Law’s fresh warning echoes two reports GSN commissioned during the Brexit process. Written by leading human rights lawyers and academics, our Brexit reports explained how the EU acted as a kind of insurance policy against a British government undermining LGBT+ protections.
