We support LGBT+ people who have experienced abuse and violence

How can we help you today?

Statement in response to the continued criminal ban on puberty blockers

As LGBTQ+ sector organisations, we are deeply disappointed that the UK Government has decided to continue criminalising the prescription of puberty suppressing medicines for trans children and young people outside of a proposed NHS research study.

Galop’s statement on Meta’s updated Hateful Content policy

It is dangerous for Meta to normalise and essentially endorse anti-LGBT+ speech. We’re calling on Ofcom to prioritise implementing the Online Safety Act’s content controls, and to take action as soon as possible.

Galop’s statement on the leaked government proposal to make anti-LGBT+ hate crimes “aggravated offences”

We welcome the leaked proposal which indicates the Home Office’s recommendation to make crimes motivated by hate towards LGBT+ and disabled people equal to hate crimes motivated by religious and racial prejudice – something Galop has long called for.
