At its height there were around 850 Diversity Champion Members, including 250 Government departments and public bodies, 120 universities and 31 police forces. Fees are estimated to start at around £2,500 per annum, in exchange employers are offered guidance on gender neutral spaces, pronouns and trans inclusion and are ranked on the charity’s Workplace Equality Index.
Maya Forstater is co-founder of Sex Matters, a group established to safeguard human rights by showing “sex matters in rules, laws, policies, language and culture.” Forstater told Lesbian and Gay News:
“Stonewall’s diversity champions scheme is now a liability. It no longer signals tolerance and harmony in the workplace. Membership of the scheme has become a reputational and legal risk. Employers don’t need to pay Stonewall protection money any more”
It shows how much Stonewall has moved from its original agenda that it's now seen as the enemy by gays and lesbians.
