Luke speaking on Trans Day of Remembrance in 2017

• Luke supports the rights of trans people to self-identify
• Support for the trans community is incredibly important as Hungary pass regressive laws
• Luke has supported and advocated for LGBT+ rights throughout the his last 3 years as an MP

Luke has again shared his support for the trans community. As Plymouth’s first openly LGBT+ MP, Luke is incredibly passionate about supporting LGBT+ rights. Following the announcement of regressive measures in Hungary defining gender as “biological sex based on primary sex characteristics and chromosomes”, Luke said this:

“There will be a lot of trans people very scared about what has just happened in Hungary. I want all trans people in Plymouth, the UK and across the world to know that I will support you in Parliament and in society.

Trans men are men, trans women are women and it’s just fine being non-binary too.”

Luke has supported LGBT+ causes throughtout his time in Parliament, and before. He has spoken about LGBT+ rights 4 times in Parliament, and 17 times on his Facebook page.
