Today is 20 years since @UKLabour repealed Section 28 in England and Wales.

Our patron, @angelaeagle, reflects on the progress made in the fight for LGBT+ rights, and the long journey still ahead.

This is a mess - and will cause real harm to trans people.

Trans exclusion, whether in healthcare or other spaces, is an indignity.

We will always stand against it 🏳️‍⚧️✊

Our congratulations to @andyburnham on his appointment as Prime Minister — and to our patron @angelaeagle, who becomes the first out lesbian to serve in a Labour cabinet.

We look forward to working with this new administration to deliver for LGBT+ people across the UK.

Alongside @LGBTLabour patron @RachelTaylorMP, I’ve written for @LabourList to welcome the proposed ban on conversion practices.

We look forward to working with all MPs to ensure LGBT+ people are finally protected from such heinous and abusive practices.

We welcome yesterday's decision by the Government to share a draft bill to ban conversion practices with Parliament.

Eight years after a Conservative Government first promised to change the law, it is Labour taking action to deliver a full, trans-inclusive ban.

Our statement following the publication of the EHRC's updated code of practice.
Statement from the LGBT+ Labour National Committee following the publication of the EHRC’s updated code of practice The LGBT+ Labour National Committee is deeply disappointed by the updated code of practice published on Thursday by the EHRC. Members of all marginalised groups should have the right to fairness, dignity, and respect when accessing services. While the updated code of practice is an improvement on the previous guidance issued in 2025, it still falls short on realising this ideal. The code of practice as published will likely lead to widespread difficulties for service providers and trans people trying to safely access services. In particular, the recommendation that people may be excluded from services on a ‘case-by-case basis’ because of their appearance is likely to lead to increased harassment for gender nonconforming people of all identities. We will continue to campaign for changes which uphold the dignity of Trans and gender-nonconforming people in our community

Our message for Trans Day of Visibility, 2026:
Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate the contributions trans people make to our LGBT+ community and wider society. We reiterate our support for policies that allow trans people to live freely and authentically: for comprehensive Gender Recognition reform, a ban on conversion practices, accessible medical care, and championing trans rights globally.

A statement from the LGBT+ Labour National Committee following the announcement of a pause on the Puberty Blockers Trial:
Statement from the LGBT+ Labour National Committee following the announcement of a pause on the Puberty Blockers Trial: LGBT+ Labour is extremely concerned by the MHRA’s decision to implement a last-minute pause on recruitment for the trial into the use of puberty blockers to treat gender incongruence in children and young people. We note that the MHRA has presented no new evidence to justify its decision, and believe that any move to raise the minimum age limit of participants will render the trial utterly flawed. The team of experts at KCL must be allowed to conduct their research free from political interference. Any action to the contrary goes against the best interests of the children and young people concerned. We urge the Department of Health and Social Care to work through any concerns and ensure that the trial proceeds in full, as committed to in the government’s manifesto.

1/ My thoughts on the puberty blockers trial — and why we need urgent action on trans healthcare. 🧵

Children with gender incongruence deserve safe, compassionate and effective care. That healthcare must always be led by evidence. 🧵

1/ We welcome @wesstreeting’s announcement of a clinical trial into the efficacy and safety of puberty blockers for treating children with gender dysphoria. This serves as a vital step towards providing young trans people with good, timely, and evidence-led healthcare.
