LGBT+ Labour
Leeds East LGBT+ Labour
We are dedicated to creating an environment where people can be themselves and share their own diverse backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and ideas. We encourage group discussions about LGBTQ matters with the intention of creating a wider understanding and acceptance of each other.
Labour has a long and proud history of campaigning for LGBT+ rights.
From the repeal of Section 28 to the delivery of Civil Partnerships and the passing of the Equality Act, we have fought both inside the Labour party and with the Labour party to defend and extend the rights of LGBT+ people for over 40 years. LGBT+ Labour exists to strengthen the Labour Party’s commitment and action on LGBT+ struggles from the inside and to give the UK the Labour government it deserves to ensure that this country works for the many, not the few.
