In the wake of today’s UK Supreme Court decision that ruled the terms “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex, Kaleidoscope Trust has joined over 35 other UK-based LGBT+ sector leaders to express disappointment with the ruling and stand in solidarity with the trans, intersex and non-binary community in the UK.
You can read Consortium’s statement below, and over on their website, here.
Today is a challenging day, and we are deeply concerned at the widespread, harmful implications of today’s Supreme Court ruling. As LGBT+ organisations across the country, we stand in solidarity with trans, intersex and non-binary folk as we navigate from here.
We need to take the time to digest the full implications of the Ruling and to understand what this will mean on both legal and practical levels and will say more over the coming weeks. It is a complex Ruling but it is important to be reminded that the Supreme Court reaffirmed that the Equality Act protects trans people against discrimination, based on Gender Reassignment, and will continue to do so.
We will work across the LGBT+ sector, and with other organisations, to provide as much clarity as soon as is practicable.
We will never stop working towards equal rights for all LGBT+ people.
The pressing LGBTI+ human rights challenges of our day can only be solved through collaboration, whether that be with grassroots or international human rights organisations, governments and funding bodies – and people that really care, like you.
Will you donate and help us create a free, safe and equal world for LGBTI+ people everywhere?
