Motion text
That this House celebrates Pride Month 2023 and the LGBTQ+ community; recognises that generations of LGBTQ+ people have had to fight for the rights they have today; regrets that this year’s Pride Month is taking place in a climate of heightened hostility, particularly towards trans people; is deeply concerned that, in recent years, the UK has slipped from first to seventeenth place in ILGA-Europe’s rankings of LGBTQ+ rights in Europe; notes that reported hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people have reached their highest rate in a decade; further notes that almost one in five LGBTQ+ people in the UK have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives; further notes that waiting times for transition-related healthcare exceed four years in some areas; calls on the Government to condemn rising hatred towards LGBTQ+ people and the trans community in particular, strengthen LGBTQ+ rights and combat discrimination and inequality; and urges the Government to implement a trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices, de-medicalise the process of obtaining a gender recognition certificate and reduce waiting times for transition-related healthcare.
