Key topics &#8211; such as gender-affirming care, conversion therapy and single-sex spaces &#8211; have been major points of discussion since Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced an election would take place. The opposition Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, is currently leading in opinion polls, with the governing Conservative Party trailing behind after 14 years in power.<\/p>\n<p>The Conservatives do not want the term &#8220;sex&#8221; to apply to those who have changed their legal sex. This is to protect female-only spaces and competitiveness in sport, the party&#8217;s manifesto says. In contrast, the Labour Party has said it supports the Equality Act as it is, including its exemptions that allow for the provision of single-sex spaces in certain circumstances.The parties also differ in their approach to so-called conversion therapy, a widely discredited practice used to try and change a person&#8217;s sexuality or gender.<\/p>\n<p>Labour has said it will issue a ban on conversion therapy that protects transgender people, but also leaves room for people to explore their sexuality and gender.The Conservatives have not committed to a ban, and instead said they need more time to reach a final judgement on the &#8220;very complex&#8221; issue. Labour has also promised to &#8220;modernise, simplify and reform&#8221; the process of changing legal gender, but said they would not implement a self-ID law, which would remove the need for a medical diagnosis. Both parties have committed to work with the recommendations of the Cass Review, an independent report into gender identity services for children, which called for better care.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.context.news\/socioeconomic-inclusion\/lgbtq-rights-what-are-labour-and-tory-uk-election-pledges\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.context.news\/socioeconomic-inclusion\/lgbtq-rights-what-are-labour-and-tory-uk-election-pledges\">Context<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/lgbtq-rights-what-are-the-labour-and-tory-uk-election-pledges\/\">LGBTQ+ rights: What are the Labour and Tory UK election pledges?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,1021],"class_list":["post-131577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-lgbtq-rights"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131577\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
