	'''~~LGBAlliance~~'''		[[File:Lgballiancelogo.jpg\|thumb\|Logo of LGB Alliance]]
			The '''LGB Alliance''' (Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Alliance) is a UK registered charity
			founded in 2019. It describes itself as advancing lesbian, gay and bisexual rights and
			takes a [[gender critical]] stance, arguing that biological sex should not be conflated
			with gender identity. It was founded in opposition to the policies of [[Stonewall]] on
			transgender issues, and one of its founders is [[Bev Jackson]].

	The [[LGB Alliance~~]] (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Alliance)~~ was ~~set up~~ in 2019~~. They believe that attempts~~ to ~~introduce confusion between biological sex and the notion of gender are harming children, as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual and~~ transgender ~~people~~.		==Background and founding==
			The LGB Alliance was established in November 2019 by a group of activists who disagreed
			with Stonewall's approach to transgender inclusion. In March 2022 Kate Barker was
			appointed Managing Director.

	~~[[File:Lgballiancelogo.jpg]] Logo~~ of LGB ~~Alliance~~		The Alliance describes its mission as advancing the interests of lesbians, gay men and
			bisexuals, highlighting the dual discrimination faced by lesbians, protecting children
			from what it describes as "harmful, unscientific ideologies", and promoting free speech
			on LGB issues.

	~~Their~~ campaign ~~states~~ ''We believe ~~it’s~~ wrong for children to be labelled masculine or feminine on the basis of clothing or play/activity preferences and in some cases to be led to believe that they might be ~~‘trapped~~ in the wrong body.' ~~These rigid gender definitions are deeply regressive and could possibly encourage body dysphoria. The numbers of children, particularly girls, seeking help has increased at an alarming rate~~''. <ref> https://lgballiance.org.uk/ </ref> ~~[[File:NottsderbyLGB.jpg\|thumb\| Kate Barker (on left) at LGB Alliance event]]~~		==Gender critical stance==
			The Alliance holds gender critical views, believing that biological sex is fixed and
			should not be conflated with gender identity. Its campaign materials state: ''We believe
			it's wrong for children to be labelled masculine or feminine on the basis of clothing or
			play/activity preferences and in some cases to be led to believe that they might be
			'trapped in the wrong body.'''<ref>https://lgballiance.org.uk/</ref>

	In 2020 ~~the~~ goals of the ~~Alliance were:~~		In 2020 its stated goals included pressing pause on the Gender Recognition Reform Bill

	~~In March 2022 [[Kate Barker]] was appointed Managing Director of the Alliance.~~		Alliance Summer Newsletter, July 2020</ref>

	In 2023 the Alliance ~~website gave their mission as follows~~:		==Charitable status==
			The LGB Alliance was granted charitable status in 2021. This was challenged by
			[[Mermaids]], the transgender children's charity, which argued the Alliance was not
			operating for the public benefit. The challenge was supported by the [[LGBT Consortium]],
			Gendered Intelligence, LGBT Foundation, and TransActual, and crowdfunded by the Good
			Law Project. In July 2023 the Alliance successfully defended its charitable status,
			with the tribunal ruling in its favour.<ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65340857</ref>

	~~Our Mission~~		==55 Tufton Street==
	~~To advance lesbian~~, ~~gay~~ and ~~bisexual rights~~		In December 2022 it was revealed via a Freedom of Information request to Ofcom that the
			LGB Alliance had office space at 55 Tufton Street in Westminster — a building also
			occupied by a number of right-wing lobbying groups and think tanks including the
			Institute of Economic Affairs, the TaxPayers' Alliance, and Migration Watch UK.<ref>
			https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/lgb-alliance-55-tufton-street-think-tanks/</ref>

	~~We advance~~ the ~~interests of lesbians~~, ~~gay men~~ and ~~bisexuals~~, and ~~stand up for our right to live as same-sex attracted people without discrimination or disadvantage~~.		The LGB Alliance responded that the office "was chosen because it's handy, flexible,
			and it became available at the right time", and cautioned against drawing
			"conspiratorial conclusions" from its address.

	~~We will ensure~~ that the ~~voices~~ of ~~lesbians, gay men and bisexuals are heard in all public and political discussions affecting our lives~~.		Critics argued the address was significant, noting that 55 Tufton Street has been
			described as the primary base for right-wing lobbying networks in the UK. In December
			2022 Twitch removed the LGB Alliance from its approved charity list, citing violations
			of its policies against hateful content.

	~~To highlight~~ the ~~dual discrimination faced by lesbians~~		==Criticism==
			The LGB Alliance has been described by political scientists Christine M. Klapeer and
			Inga Nüthen as an anti-trans group. The LGBT Consortium has argued the organisation
			was formed to "promote transphobic activity rather than pro-LGB activities".

	~~We amplify~~ the ~~voices~~ of ~~lesbians and highlight~~ the ~~dual discrimination experienced by lesbians as women who are same-sex attracted~~ in ~~a male-dominated society~~.		Sociologists McLean and Stretesky describe the Alliance as part of a wider network of
			gender critical campaign groups. In October 2021 the Alliance held its first major
			national conference in London.

	~~To protect children who may grow up to be~~ lesbian, gay~~, or~~ bisexual		==Activities==
			In June 2024 the Alliance launched a live text-chat helpline called [[LGB Helpline]]
			for lesbian, gay and bisexual people aged 13-24.<ref>https://lgballiance.org.uk/bbc-series-homophobic-in-the-extreme/</ref>

	~~We work to protect children from harmful, unscientific ideologies that may lead them to believe either their personality or their body is in need~~ of ~~changing. Any child growing up to be lesbian, gay or bisexual has~~ the ~~right to be happy and confident about their sexuality and who they are~~.		In October 2024 the Alliance's annual conference was disrupted when trans rights
			activists released thousands of crickets into the venue.

	~~To promote free speech on lesbian, gay and bisexual issues~~		In May 2025 the Alliance described the BBC TV series ''I Kissed a Boy'' as
			homophobic.<ref>https://lgballiance.org.uk/bbc-series-homophobic-in-the-extreme/</ref>
	We promote freedom of speech and informed dialogue on issues concerning the rights of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals. We assert that different opinions, even those we may disagree with, should be heard as part of the public debate.
