The Kaleidoscope Trust believes all people are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Nobody should be excluded because of their sexual orientation or how they identify their gender.

 

Based in London, we work to encourage the UK government, the Commonwealth, the EU and others to do everything possible to fight prejudice, discrimination and stigmatisation.

 

Our efforts are guided by what we're told by those who live in countries where homosexual activity is illegal - there are 78 of them - or where it is impossible for them to live openly and safely. You can read more about what we do here.

 

You can make a difference and stop people being punished just for being different.

 

Our Honorary President is the Speaker of the UK House of Commons, John Bercow MP. We welcome the backing of people from all parts of the world, from supporters of all parties and none, from men and women of all faiths and non-believers alike.
