Im headed to London early tomorrow morning for the big meeting with Stonewall. This excellent piece by my pal Paris Lees neatly sums up many of the points Ive come to on this issue. There will continue to be a multitude of organisations representing the different factions and interests of assoretd LGBT groups, - some better than others, but Stonewall is the one strong brand that has seats at the right tables, feet in the right doors. Stonewall more than any other organisation has the credibility at a political level to leverage real influence: over the years I have come to realise that more is achieved by sitting at the table with key decision makes than waving banners outside the building. (And Ive had my stint at that too.) Being allied to, and collaborating with Stonewall to my mind has the potential to bring about further positive change. Im cautious but certainly optimistic.
