Newly formed LGB International says gay people are at risk of losing hard-won rights
Gender-critical gay rights groups are forming a global alliance to challenge transgender advocates.
On Saturday, the LGB Alliance announced the launch of LGB International, a coalition of worldwide LGB groups, which declares its “independence from the LGBTQIA+ establishment” to distance itself from the “legacy gay organisations which now focus entirely on transgender issues”.
The LGB Alliance was started in 2019 following a fallout and factionalism at Stonewall, Europe’s biggest LGBT rights organisation, after it was accused of promoting a “trans agenda” at the expense of gay and lesbian rights.
At the time, the LGB Alliance, which is made up of gender-critical lesbian, gay and bisexuals, said the point of forming a new organisation was to “counteract the confusion between sex and gender which is now widespread in the public sector and elsewhere”.
