Public sector organisations continue to exit Stonewall’s controversial pro-trans programme. In recent months, Sport England, the Scottish Parliament and Arts Council England have all decided to cancel their membership of the lobby group’s flagship ‘diversity scheme’, which rewards employers for promoting LGBT ideology inside and outside of the workplace. A number of other tax-funded organisations – including the Crown Prosecution Service, the Government Equalities Office, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission– have also ended their relationship with Stonewall. Public moneyWelcoming Sport England’s decision, Sex Matters’ Director of Campaigns Fiona McAnena said: “Sport England gets millions of pounds of public money, and it has a duty to make sport work for everyone.
