Difference between revisions of "Pink List 2011"

Revision as of 10:28, 14 June 2012

The Independent on Sunday’s Pink List recognises the most influential LGBT people in the UK.

The judges for The 2011 IoS Pink List were Brian Brady, Whitehall Editor; Laura Chesters, Business Correspondent; Matt Chorley, Political Correspondent; Katy Guest, Literary Editor; Mike Higgins, Arts Editor; Jane Merrick, Political Editor; Hugh Montgomery, Arts Correspondent; Neil Robinson, Sports Editor.

The most surprising omission was Peter Tatchell. According to Hugh Muir in The Guardian this was because "the Post-it note with his name was shuffled into an incorrect pile and nobody noticed until it was too late".^[1]
