A good, if scary piece from one of our supporters, around the threat to wider LGBTQ+ rights if current attacks on Human Rights (esp. article 8) continue in the UK.

As gay marriage is attacked in US, UK must not be complacent
It’s easy to view the attempted rollback of rights as an American problem. But LGBTQ rights are at risk here, too

Asking. We have lately been looking at complaints to IPSO in respect of stories that are trans-related.
Funny thing: we can find very few such complaints recorded on their website.
So, if you complained in the last few years, drop a line in the dm's and we'll look to see if it was ever recorded.

This is an old story (well, 2023) about IPSO, press regulation, and an impossible requirement: to investigate a story about a made-up person, they must have that person's permission to do so.
You could not make it up.
Unless you are IPSO, or the UK media.
