Stonewall
works for equality in for Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual lives. They operate areas such as Research and Policy, Legislation, School, Work, Fundraising and Events.
Stonewall was founded in 1989 by a small group of women and men who had been active in the struggle against Section 28 of the Local Government Act.
Section 28 was an offensive piece of legislation designed to prevent the so-called ‘promotion’ of homosexuality in schools; as well as stigmatising gay people it also galvanised the gay community. It was repealed in 2003. Stonewall’s Education for All campaign, launched in January 2005, helps tackle homophobia and homophobic bullying in schools and works with a wide coalition of groups.
