Acting On Equalities: Are Local Authorities In England Meeting the Duties of the Equality Act 2010 and Addressing Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity?
In late 2014 and mid 2016, the Liveable Lives project gathered data to help understand exactly what each of the 353 local councils in England is doing to meet their duties under the Equality Act 2010. We have published a report which explores if, and how, each local council is meeting their duties. The report also looks at LGBTQ-specific work being done by councils, and issues surrounding same-sex marriage and civil partnerships. We have also published a supplement which organises the findings by region and by political party.

“Gay-Friendly or Homophobic? The Absence and Problems of Global Standards”
This article is a discussion of the absence of Global Standards of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT). Despite decisions being made on the basis of some countries being considered ‘homophobic’ there are no Global standards. We argue for measures that account for people’s everyday lives and do not only focus on legal rights.
