The LGBT+ Liberal Democrats voiced strong disapproval at being classified alongside anti-trans political parties following Pride organizers' announcement banning all parties until they show sufficient allyship. This decision is rooted in rising concerns over transphobia in British politics following a Supreme Court ruling affecting trans women. The Liberal Democrats argue their historical commitment to LGBT+ rights distinguishes them from parties deemed anti-trans, urging Pride organizers to engage in dialogue rather than exclusion, emphasizing they have earned their participation at Pride events.
The LGBT+ arm of the Liberal Democrats expressed its dismay at being categorized with anti-trans parties and emphasized their progressive stance on LGBT+ rights.
LGBT+ Liberal Democrats requested Pride organizations to have constructive dialogue to establish fair criteria for political participation reflecting their advocacy for trans rights.
