Host the UK government’s first ever international LGBT conference
Last updated 4 years ago
Conservative Party Manifesto 2019, p.53[We will support marginalised communities in the developing world,] hosting the UK government’s first ever international LGBT conference.
Our verdict
- This is a promise to back marginalised communities in developing countries by hosting the government’s first international LGBT conference.
- As co-chair of the Equal Rights Coalition, the government planned on hosting a three-day international LGBT conference in London in May 2020. Due to COVID-19, the event has been postponed until further notice.
- Although the event was postponed, the fact that it was planned, scheduled, and the government has said it will announce a new date in due course, means this policy is ‘in progress’.
