GCN has a global theme for this month’s edition, with a focus on the climate change crisis and environmental sustainability. For us in the National LGBT Federation - publishers of GCN - there has always existed an overarching link between LGBT+ rights and many other socially progressive movements, which, in addition to environmentalism, include the likes of feminism and women’s rights and the separation of Church and State.
Since our foundation, The National Gay Federation (as we were then called) has recognised the importance of working in concert with other like minded civil society organisations. There is certainly a rich history of cooperation between LGBT and women’s rights advocates in particular which continues into present times.
