Labour will strengthen the law on LGBT hate crime, undertake a review of gender identity law and policy; restroe the Equality Act and implement ‘Turing’s Law’ offering posthumous pardons to gay men convicted for homosexuality.
Labour will appoint the UK’s first International envoy on LGBT rights to promote respect on LGBT rights globally, and review the procedures for asylum seekers fleeing persecution for their sexuality or gender identity, to ensure the rules are upheld fairly and humanely. We will ensure that development cooperation and aid supports LGBT communities.
With Labour, people will have an equal right to mental health treatment including talking therapies; we will work with the trans community to improve access to gender care services and improve action to tackle HIV & AIDS.
