This picture is from our 2016 volume of PGAs. We receive legislation from The Stationary Office throughout the year as it is published, and eventually send the individuals Acts off the be bound together. The resulting volumes can be found in Room C and are a great source of legislation as enacted.

To conclude LGBT+ History Month we're celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the Armed Forces Act 2016; section 14 of the Act amends the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, and as a result homosexual acts are no longer grounds for being discharged from the armed forces.

This case went to the House of Lords in 2003 (which the report above covers) which upheld the decision despite acknowledging "the humanitarian considerations underlying Mrs Bellinger's claim. Much suffering is involved for those afflicted with gender identity disorder."

Inner Temple Library @innertemplelibrary.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

It is 25 years sine Bellinger v Bellinger, in which the court concluded that the recognition of a change of gender was a matter for Parliament and in the absence of legislation the court could not hold that a person had altered gender.

Inner Temple Library @innertemplelibrary.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

It is 30 years since P v S and Cornwall County Council, a landmark case in the ECJ which extended the scope of sex equality to discrimination against transgender people.

Inner Temple Library @innertemplelibrary.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Shared here are two landmark cases with anniversaries this year. Both are reported in the Times Law Reports, when they stopped leaving us to our cutting and sticking and instead started sending out pages to file once a week. To this day we continue to receive and file regular deliveries.

This year marks 40 years since Rees v the United Kingdom. The above image shows the case as reported in the Times on 21st October 1986. It would have been cut out and stuck in to our volume by a member of library staff back in 1986, with the court and date written in by hand.

A newspaper cutting stuck on to a page in a ring binder. Above the cutting the words European Court of Human Rights are handwritten. The title of the cutting is Transexual's rights not breached and it is a report of the 1986 case Rees v United Kingdom. The text of the report is too small to be legible.

February is LGBT+ History month, and to mark the occasion we’ve put together a timeline of LGBT+ legal history. Up to date to 2021, it certainly isn’t comprehensive, but it does give some shocking insights into the long and arduous process of fighting for equality and justice.

Often unnoticed here in the library is our lending collection. Although it covers an array of topics there is a heavy focus on wellbeing. If Blue Monday feels a little too real today, come down and take a look at what we have on offer, it's much cheaper than a holiday!

And although it seems a little bit of a sham, Blue Monday is a good prompt to start thinking and talking about our mental health.

Today is Blue Monday! Falling on the third Monday of January, Blue Monday supposedly marks the most depressing day of the year. Although a very complicated-looking formula exists to calculate it, Blue Mondays origins seem to stem less from mathematics and more from covert PR for holiday companies...
