Good Law Project, crowdfunding, LGB Alliance
The Good Law Project is crowdfunding a case to appeal the recent granting of charitable status to the "LGB Alliance". As they note:
"Whatever sweet nothings the so-called “LGB Alliance” whispered into the ear of the Charity Commission the truth was set out in a speech by LGB Alliance director Bev Jackson on 9 March 2020. She described their real goal as follows:
“We’re applying for charitable status and building an organization to challenge the dominance of those who promote the damaging theory of gender identity.”
Their purpose is the denigration of trans people and the destruction of organisations that support them, in particular through political lobbying and campaigning for law change.
These purposes are reprehensible and they are not charitable; they are political objectives - to roll back legal protections for trans people.
To be registered as a charity, an organisation must be established exclusively for purposes which the law recognises as charitable, and it must pursue them in a way which gives rise to tangible benefits that outweigh any associated harms.
We don’t believe that legal threshold has been met.
So Mermaids, supported by LGBT+ Consortium, Gendered Intelligence, LGBT Foundation, TransActual, and Good Law Project, are appealing the Charity Commission’s decision to award the so-called “LGB Alliance” charity status."
