Judgement in Mermaids v Charity Commission tribunal expected in days

[RoyalCorgi]

This is the case where Mermaids challenged the Charity Commission's decision to give charitable status to the LGBA.

Don't have any more detail at the moment, but thought you'd all be interested. It's been a four month wait already.

Ooh thank you!

brilliant

Any non-twitter links?

I feared the worst but I've got menopausal anxiety anyway

Now for the analysis of the judgement.

I'm getting nothing done today!

The adrenaline is still pumping,

Thank actual fuck.

Hooray!

🍾🍾🍾

Yes.

James Esses is saying LGBA won, and he is usually reliable.

Good. Good good and good.

Thank fuck

It was disgraceful that two straight people tried to get a charity for LGB people shut down.

And one for the reputable source purists.

Maybe now IW will have to stop calling them a transphobic hate group

Excellent news!!!!

It's on PA Media now on Twitter - I think that's reliable?
Phew and yay! Congratulations LGB Alliance

Thank fuck for that!

Happy days - now I can have my swim!!!

a bloody win whooppee and I'm not gay, so goodness knows how the gay community is feeling right now 😄

YES!!!!!

Yep.

Ahhhhh brilliant.

Hard hats wims! I am sure there will be even more incoming targeting this board over the next few days!

How long until we get a "LGBA lost actually, because..." response?

That about sums it up 😀

Yeah!!!

I’m in relieved tears. This has been a long time coming and the homophobic positions of Mermaids made it gruelling and painful. Brava, Kate and Bev!

Such good news. Hopefully it’s a complete shutdown of this kind of case
