A day of action throughout the UK asking private and public institutions to leave the Stonewall Diversity Scheme

About this event

A National day of action calling on public bodies to #ComeOutOfStonewall

This is a protest led by gays, bisexuals, lesbians and women. We call on all institutions who are still members of their diversity scheme to #LeaveStonewalll.

They are misleading private and governmental organisations about the Equality Act.

They are pushing policies which discriminate against women and harm lesbian, gay, bisexual and autistic children

Their #NoDebate tactics are anti-democratic and have had a 'chilling effect' on freedom of speech

They are promoting a world view which is anti-science and denies the basics of human biology.

This event is open to all, but we especially welcome the participation of women, lesbians, gays and bisexuals. If you would like to make a sign or prepare a speech please do. Dinosaurs also welcome!

Events are happening throughout the UK, in London and elsewhere. More details to follow.

If you are unable to attend the protest, you can take action from your sofa. You can use this resource to write to organisations who are still members of Stonewalls Diversity Champion Scheme, sharing your concerns and asking them to #ComeOutOfStonewall sex-matters.org/posts/updates/leave-stonewall/

Thank you. I don't think public money should be used to prioritise one protected characteristic over another. There needs to be more neutral balancing of rights in equality and diversity schemes.

BulletandtheBullseye · 16/10/2021 13:42

I don’t think public money should be used to fund any organisation that forces members of its scheme to sign NDA’s.

All public bodies should be entirely transparent.

Thank you @Angrysaurus.

I wonder if a co ordinated campaign to send MPs and parliamentarians links to the Nolan Podcasts might help?

So much armchair action for those who can't get out.

I shall be watching and waiting, possibly stickering.

It would be really useful if someone could update the template letter. The dates are really confusing and will make no sense if people c&p.

Thanks for pointing out, someone is contacting Sex Matters, so hopefully by the day it would be updated.

If you can't make it, there's still lots of things you can do to help on Friday.
You can write to organisations who are still members of Stonewall's Diversity Champion Scheme, sharing your concerns and asking them to #ComeOutOfStonewall

Who's putting their shoes on Friday? I'm at the London one.

I’ll be at the Edinburgh one, hope many of you on here can join us. We are fighting our own government which has been well and truly captured and need as much support as possible.

NonnyMouse1337 · 19/10/2021 19:09

I'm hoping to be at the one in Edinburgh. ❤️

SharonCooper · 20/10/2021 06:50

I won’t be able to make the Belfast one, but I have submitted a FOI to the NI Department of Health.

Very angry about the institutional capture of our establishment and universities by Stonewall who are misogynistic, homophobic, bullying and denying women free speech to defend our hard won sex-based rights. I am writing to as many Stonewall champions as I can to ask them to leave this regressive organisation asap. And I will be at the demo in London tomorrow. I understand it is 12 noon at Millicent Fawcett statue in Parliament Square?

NonnyMouse1337 · 21/10/2021 12:56

Yes FreeSpeech12. I think there will be a procession to other areas from that starting point.

NonnyMouse1337 · 22/10/2021 08:57

Woo hoo! Today's the day!

LurkerDelurking · 22/10/2021 09:08

I'm at work today and won't make it to a protest but will be cheering you on and doing what I can at home. Thank you
