The South West Region Green Party LGBT Group The group's establishment in the South West comes after months of fostering opinion on the way forward for political and human rights campaigning in the SW. The group's geographical remit runs from Bristol around the Severn and all the way through the West Country and back to Dorset. The mission of the South West LGBT Green Group is to advance lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans gender equality in our society and to raise awareness through the political process and understanding of Green values among the LGBT community. The Group aims to build a sustainable and equal society where everyone is valued as an individual. The diversity within the LGBT community enriches all our lives, and should be encouraged and promoted. We are always happy to receive offers of help whether it be helping out on stalls at Pride or even financial donations towards the running of the group.
General Election Manifesto
The Green Party has a long and proud history of campaigning for social justice. Our
Manifesto for a Sustainable Society opens with a clear, philosophical commitment to
tackling all forms of discrimination: 'A healthy society is based on voluntary
co-operation between empowered individuals in a democratic society, free from
discrimination whether based on race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, religion,
social origin or any other prejudice.'
