00:00 In December, the Cabinet Minister for Equalities told this House that she had engaged, and
00:05 I quote, "extensively with LGBT organisations" since her appointment 18 months ago. A Freedom
00:12 of Information answer published this week reveals that in fact the Minister hasn't
00:16 met a single LGBT organisation, but has met two fringe groups that actively campaign against
00:25 transgender rights. What is the problem the Prime Minister and the section of his party
00:30 have with trans people, and his Equalities Minister has with the truth?
00:35 >>The Prime Minister As I've always said, first of all, this
00:40 Government have a proud track record of supporting those in the LGBT community and will continue
00:46 to do so. I've also always said that those who are questioning their gender and identity
00:52 should be treated with the utmost dignity and compassion and sensitivity as they consider
00:56 those questions.
