Rejected petition: Protect the Rights and Equality of LGBTQ+ and Transgender Women | Diversity
Rejected on
As a young gay man who has questioned my own gender, I know the fear of judgment. I urge Parliament to protect the rights, dignity and equality of all LGBTQ+ people, including transgender people, and oppose discrimination in all forms. Every person deserves respect and equal opportunity.
My petition calls for stronger protection of the rights of LGBTQ+ people, including transgender people. It asks Parliament to ensure everyone is treated with dignity, respect and equality, free from discrimination. The aim is to protect access to public services, support inclusion, and ensure people can live safely and authentically regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Everyone should have the same rights, opportunities and legal protections under the law. Raising awareness
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We are not sure exactly what specific measures you would like the Government or Parliament to implement in order to safeguard the rights of LGBTQ+ people.
The Equality Act 2010 already protects people from unfair treatment, discrimination, harassment, and victimisation in workplaces, schools, public services, and businesses based on nine protected characteristics, which include their gender and sexual orientation.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
