Driving Transgenderism = Stonewall’s Downfall?
New push to stop Stonewall getting taxpayers’ cash after legal battle raised fears over group’s influence
- Some Whitehall departments have already been told to cut their ties
- Over 900 employers were still signed up to the diversity champions programme
- The Bank of England, the Armed Forces and Scotland Yard remain signed up
- Army, Navy, RAF and Ministry of Defence will not renew membership next year
- All taxpayer-funded organisations will soon be under pressure to cut ties too
Public sector bodies are to be told to stop giving money to Stonewall after a legal battle raised fears over the group’s influence.
Whitehall departments have already been told to cut their ties but some have only placed their £2,500 annual membership fees under review.
And the Bank of England, the Armed Forces and Scotland Yard remain signed up to Stonewall’s diversity champions scheme.
An employment tribunal ruled last week that barrister Allison Bailey had been discriminated against by Garden Court Chambers over her ‘gender-critical’ beliefs that no one can change biological sex.
She had objected to her legal chambers joining Stonewall’s diversity scheme and the charity made a formal complaint when she commented on social media about ‘trans extremism’.
All taxpayer-funded organisations will soon be under pressure to cut their ties to the group because both Tories vying to be the next prime minister plan to take a tough stance against it.
A source close to frontrunner Liz Truss said: ‘Liz has long believed public sector organisations should withdraw from the Stonewall diversity champions scheme. It does not represent value for money. Continues here…

Is this the beginning of the end for Stonewall – the organisation which has driven (but now apparently abandoned) “gay” rights, in order to push transgenderism? And still, throughout every news report on this, every TV debate, the Catholic hierarchy remains silent. The current popular question is how to define a woman. “What is a woman?” is the question politicians are increasingly being asked to answer. I’m wondering if we need to start asking – seriously – what is a bishop? How do they “identify”? How do we tell them apart from Joe Bloggs, the man on the street? Your thoughts.

The time for Stonewall’s downfall is well overdue. It’s been poisoning school children with its materials for a long time and it’s shocking that it’s taken its extremist transgenderism activism to waken up the people supporting them with money, and that includes the government.
As for the hierarchy – they are blind as bats, every one of them. There seems to be some hope that Pope Francis will retire, if his knees make it impossible for him to travel, LOL! As if it’s an essential part of the job to travel! He is a piece of work.

At least now, after the Bailey case, nobody can be sacked for not agreeing with Stonewall’s trans policies.

As for the hierarchy – laugh-a-minute! There’s no statements from any of them that I know about, on the immorality of transgenderism or anything to do with LGBTQ+ lifestyles. Hell will have frozen over before they say anything remotely “controversial” – i.e. before they speak the truth about our God-given human sexuality.
Most of our bishops have long since signed up to the ‘Diversity and Equality’ manifestos which were heavily influenced – if not actually written by – the Stonewall brigade.
Westminsterfly,
That is correct – you can read these various “diversity” mission statements in different companies and on church websites and they’re all spouting the same jargon. It’s totally shameless of the Catholic hierarchy to be going along with all this evil.
PS I’ve said it before – I keep telling Stonewall I identify as a transbillionaire, but my bank balance doesn’t match my self-identification. I’m still waiting for them to come up with the money to rectify the disparity. And I wouldn’t even need surgery! (although their bank balance might . . . )
New Bishop of Galloway: Bishop Bloggs?
Sounds about right.
Frankier,
Sad to say, it sounds exactly right!
Bet Stonewall staff are all on six-figure salaries. Look at those three BLM founders as well (Cullors, Tometi, Garza). All nobodies from Nowheresville, who have ended up as squillionaires with massive Beverley Hills property portfolios, while screaming about black oppression and poverty.
WF,
You DO have a way with words! That is one hilarious description of both Stonewall and BLM activists.
“nobodies from Nowheresville” and “squillionaires… Love it!
We just used to call all those types ‘champagne socialists’.
It is very good news that Stonewall is crumbling but they’re still there and I think they’ll bounce back on the LGB bandwagon.
Maybe Bergoglio and His Lavender Mafia Mob will Bankroll Stonewall, if of course their not already doing so. I know am going off Topic –https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcbIUMyV-_E&t=320s -But this really really made me angry . As for our useless Bishops maybe their Ghost members already. Also the great comments made of the Bosses of these so called Charities being £ Multi Millionaires is no surprise at all . BTW i know am showing my LGBTQ2+WXYZ ignorance but what is the Ace for. Is it Spades .Hearts .Clubs or Diamonds or is the Queer Movement moving onto another Alphabet. You know maybe the Greek .
And to think our very own Editor CT nearly won Stonewall’s ‘Bigot of the Year’ award. She was inconsolable when she found out she’d lost to someone else. She’d bought the outfit for the presentation and everything . . .
