Labour's Trans Pledge, LGB Alliance and the Equality Act.

[TheGreatWave]

I have had to read part of the Equality Act the last few days for a work related issue. This has piqued my interest in the whole act and I have looked at other characteristics.

The act explicitly states that an association does not contravene the act by restricting membership to persons who share a protected characteristic. Therefore the LGB Alliance have a legal right to restrict membership to the L, G and B.

The pledge calls them a hate group (I presume because they exclude the T) Are they planning to follow this up legally?

I hope so. I'd chip in to see that tested.

I think the only way for some serious pushback against the trans ideological movement is through some serious legal cases being brought against all the absurd claims and assertions by the Trans Privilege Activists.

I think the Act also protects heterosexual people from discrimination for that sexual orientation?

One yes I believe it does. The targeted reporting of all of the LGB political groups twitter accounts to close them down this week has been a little horrific. Extremely vicious behaviour towards the LGB community.

Lots of kinds of hatred are perfectly legal though. Just being legal doesn't necessarily mean you're not a "hate group".

Of course LGB Alliance isn't a hate group, and the pledge is libellous, but your logic doesn't work.

LGB Alliance did say on twitter that they had a big announcement on Monday regarding their response to the pledge, which I'm guessing may be legal action, because what else could it be? I'll be very relieved if it is.

I'm no lawyer but I'd imagine it might be easier for LGB Alliance to win a libel case than WPUK simply because they are a much newer organisation and haven't done much yet - in all of the hundreds of hours of WPUK talks someone might be able to scrape together some stuff that they could argue was hate, but with LGB Alliance, there isn't much to scrape.

I think that the organisations lobbying for conversion "therapy" are the hate organisations. You can't force other people to find you sexually attractive and it is seriously creepy when people refuse to accept that.

I would have thought it was libellous to call an organisation a «hate group». Especially when they aren’t. A lot of people who didn’t know WPUK or the LGB Alliance would be taken in by that, especially seeing it in writing from the Labour Party.

Baseless accusations work well in politics, haven't you noticed?

OTOH, a lot of people who never heard of WPUK or LGBA before will now Google them for themselves.
