Government’s Legal Department DROPS Stonewall Diversity Champions scheme after backlash over the LGBT rights charity’s controversial practices

The Government’s Legal Department (GLD) has dropped Stonewall‘s Diversity Champions scheme following a backlash over the LGBT rights charity’s controversial practices.

A series of revelations about the beliefs of Stonewall staff have emerged in recent years, including that of its ‘trans inclusion’ chief, who claimed that humans are not naturally male or female.

The charity also supports the belief that people with penises can be lesbians and those with vaginas can be gay men. Its chief executive, Nancy Kelly, last year likened ‘gender critical’ beliefs to antisemitism.

Furthermore, Stonewall has backed campaigns for the law to be changed to allow ‘self-identification’ of gender, meaning that a person who was born male could obtain the legal status of a woman simply by describing themselves as female.

The GLD today became the latest in a host of high profile bodies to abandon the project, including the BBC, Channel 4, Ofsted, the Cabinet Office and the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

A spokesperson said: ‘GLD will not be renewing its membership to Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme this year.

‘However, we are grateful for the support we have received from Stonewall and remain committed to supporting the LGBT+ community in GLD.’

Well-known feminist Julie Bindel reacted to the news by tweeting: ‘Stonewall are so going down. I just heard from a staffer that the GLD ( government legal department) are pulling out of the criminal protection racket that is the Diversity Champions programme, but not yet official. This scam is truly over.’
