In the first part of a major three-part investigation, the Mail reveals how Stonewall, the LGBTQ+ charity, continues to exert significant influence over taxpayer-funded organisations and politicians, dictating policy and shaping plans. From healthcare to education, its ideology-driven campaigns and diversity programs have raised questions about the prioritisation of gender identity over other protected rights and the impact on public institutions. Here’s an excerpt:
Last year, officials working for an NHS Trust in Bath, Somerset, received the results of an assessment they had undergone a couple of months earlier.
Alas, they had not done well.
Out of a possible 159 points, they had been awarded just 49, meaning they failed even to qualify for an entry-level ‘bronze award’.
Many reasons were given for this lamentably low score, among them: clinical staff at the Trust had failed to avoid using ‘gendered language’ such as ‘mother’, ‘father’ and ‘husband’; the majority also failed ‘routinely’ to ask patients their sexual orientation or if they were transgender.
The shamed Trust was further marked down for its failure to put sanitary bins in all toilets — irrespective of whether they were the Gents or the Ladies — although it did gain some credit for the fact that some of its staff chose to wear badges displaying their preferred pronouns.
The report further asserted that many employees had ‘homophobic’ or ‘transphobic’ views. But on closer inspection, these did not seem particularly egregious.
