The Independent on Sunday’s Pink List recognises the most influential LGBT people in the UK. The most surprising omission in the 2011 IoS Pink List 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]
