Government’s LGBT advisory panel disbandedon April 13, 2021 at 12:54 pm

Three advisors quit last month in protest at the government’s handling of LGBT rights.

Nancy Kelley, chief executive of campaign group Stonewall, who was one of the remaining panel members, said: “Many key commitments from the UK LGBT Action Plan remain incomplete, including delivering an effective ban on conversion therapy, and the pandemic has only deepened the inequalities LGBTQ people experience, particularly in mental health.”
