Stephen Fry recently received a knighthood for his advocacy around bipolar disorder, despite his controversial comments against Stonewall's trans rights activism, which he described as 'nonsensical'.
Fry's remarks on a podcast revealed his disavowal of Stonewall, stating, 'I have no interest in supporting this current wave of nonsensical [policies]'. This sparked disappointment among the trans community.
Despite Fry's knighthood acknowledging his contributions to mental health advocacy, the backlash from his comments on trans rights demonstrate the ongoing tensions within the LGBTQ+ movement and debates regarding trans inclusion.
In receiving this honour, Fry is acknowledged as 'one of Britain's most highly regarded public figures', but his recent statements have raised questions about his alignment within the LGBTQ+ community.
