I can't help feeling cynical about the Tories' new LGBT champion | Joanna Whitehead

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : While these two actions in isolation may cause the average LGBT+ person to pause for thought, it's also worth remembering that Truss belongs to a party that is trying to scrap the Human Rights Act - a bill that helps people access justice and speak truth to power - that is cutting Universal Credit to some of society's poorest and most vulnerable households, one that is poised to tax the working poor to subsidise the wealthy under the guise of social care, a party that is typified by corruption and cronyism.
39% : This is a government that has repeatedly failed to deliver on promises to ban so-called conversion therapy, a dangerous and abusive practice that attempts to change, "cure", repress or erase a person's sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
