Read our privacy policy Equalities minister Kemi Badenoch has used her first parliamentary appearance in the role to attack the CEO of an LGBT+ magazine. PinkNews has been highly critical of Ms Badenoch's record on LGBT rights, describing her in an article about her appointment as "vehemently anti-trans". In a post on social media on Tuesday PinkNews chief executive Benjamin Cohen had said Ms Badenoch's appointment was one "many LGBTQ+ campaigners feared", citing her abstention on same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland and record on trans rights. During Ms Badenoch’s previous tenure as an equalities minister she met with anti-trans campaigners, while the government ditched planned reforms of the gender recognition act and a full ban on LGBT conversion therapy.
