LGBT Network
The SSP is striving to build a tolerant socialist society in which anti-gay
bigotry has no place.
We envisage a society in which diversity is strength and where each individual’s
contribution is valued.
The SSP wants to tear down the barriers that prevent gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgendered people playing an equal part in society.
We support equal rights for gay and lesbian couples in parenting, fostering
and adoption.
We back Civil Registered Partnerships, which are open
to same-sex partners and give the same status to people living together
as married couples.
The SSP was among those organisations which stood up against the hysterical tabloid media campaign to keep Section 2A (Section 28 in England and Wales).
The SSP welcomes the legal rights won by our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered citizens, but will continue the fight for pension rights, and to protect LGBT asylum seekers who face deportation to countries where they will be persecuted because of their sexuality.
