LGBT History Month

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 February 2023. It occurred during Backbench debate on LGBT History Month.

I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for her personal role in many of those struggles over so many years. We all stand on the shoulders of that today, but does she share my deep concern that, despite all that fantastic progress, there is a reversion in a number of areas? There is currently a petition before this House suggesting we should go back to the dark days of section 28, we see daily attacks on the trans and non-binary community, and in last year’s figures we saw the sharpest rise in hate crime against people on the basis of their gender identity and sexuality.
