Understand the LGBTQIA+ headlines and keep track of the latest queer content and perspectives. The QueerAF newsletter is written by Jamie Wareham and a different queer creative each week.
💬 This week:
- Sandie Peggie: A court has ruled that banning Trans+ people from bathrooms was not necessary following the Supreme Court’s April ruling, a detail most of the media coverage failed to convey. We examine the Employment Tribunal’s judgment.
- Equality Law: Critical changes to human rights laws, in Northern Ireland and across Europe, could have significant consequences for LGBTQIA+ rights. We explore both stories.
- Having a queer Christmas: Christmas can be a hard time of year for LGBTQIA+ folk, but this week's Queer Gaze writer looks at how you can make the season work for you.
Skip the doomscrolling and support queer creatives instead. We are QueerAF – and so are you.
Supreme Court decision does not require Trans+ bathroom ban, Scottish court says
TL;DR: An employment tribunal has set out in great detail why the Supreme Court ruling on the meaning of ‘woman’ in the Equality Act 2010 does not require segregating Trans+ people from single-sex spaces, in stark contrast to advice from Equality Watchdog the ECHR, which is itself in court over that advice.
