LGBTQ Manifesto
The passing of equality & same-sex marriage legislation in England, Wales & Scotland were hugely significant turning points in LGBT equality, both in terms of rights, and of the increased visibility of LGBT people. However, there is still a long way to go in ensuring full equality for LGBT people in the UK, particularly in relation to Northern Ireland and also less visible groups such as: bisexual, trans and non-binary people; BME LGBT people; older LGBT people; LGBT youth; LGBT immigrants and asylum seekers; and LGBT people who are mentally or physically disabled.
Back in 2014 the LGBT Chief Executives Network, facilitated by LGBT Consortium, produced a national LGBT manifesto and a Trans manifesto was developed by an alliance of Trans organisations (see links below).
Leading on from this pioneering work by the LGBT Consortium and inspired by the work locally on the Race and Women’s Manifestos. The LGBT Communities of the West of England are working on an LGBT Manifesto for this region.
The Initiative is being hosted by Bristol City Council and the main public development day will be held on 23th February 2016 as part of LGBT History Month.
