Stonewall responds to today’s Supreme Court ruling

Responding to today’s Supreme Court ruling, Stonewall CEO, Simon Blake OBE said:   

“Stonewall shares the deep concern at the widespread implications for today’s ruling from the Supreme Court. It will be incredibly worrying for the trans community and all of us who support them. 

“It’s important to be reminded the Court strongly and clearly re-affirmed the Equality Act protects all trans people against discrimination, based on Gender Reassignment, and will continue to do so.  

“Once we read and fully digest the judgement, we will work with stakeholders across all sectors to provide as much clarity as possible.  

“Stonewall will continue its work with the Government and parliamentarians to achieve equal rights under the law for LGBTQ+ people.”
