Galop @galopuk.bsky.social · 29/04/2026
After many years of campaigning from Galop and others, the law has officially changed to classify hate crimes against LGBT+ and disabled people as aggravated offences – making them equal to crimes motivated by racial and religious hate. Read our full statement here: www.galop.org.uk/news/anti-lg...
Bold text on a light blue background announcing that hate crime law has changed, surrounded by megaphones. Underneath, there is more text which says, "Galop’s statement on the legal change to make anti-LGBT+ hate crime an aggravated offence".
