Global Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT+) Rights APPG

First Registered: 20/05/2020 • Last updated on: 07/05/2025

To ensure that global lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) issues are permanently part of the government’s agenda and the wider national conversation about human rights and equality, raised by well-briefed and motivated parliamentarians both nationally and internationally.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
