Caroline Lucas

The Green Party has launched its LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans) Manifesto for the upcoming general election. The launch took place last week in Brighton with keynote speakers Caroline Lucas Green MEP, and LGBT human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell.
 
The Greens claim they are offering "the strongest, most comprehensive and radical LGBT equality policies of any party."
 
Caroline Lucas, Leader of the Green Party, stated:
“We believe that all police forces should have LGBT Liaison Officers with paid time allocated within their work schedules to tackle homophobic and transphobic hate crime.

"Labour's Equality Bill is wrong to deny protection against harassment to LGBT people. The Green Party proposes re-writing the Mental Health Act to remove trans people from the Psychiatric Disorder Register and we would ensure LGBT awareness training for all teachers to create a safe, supportive environment for lgbt staff and students.”
