How petertatchell.net relates to the Peter Tatchell Foundation

Updated

petertatchell.net is Peter Tatchell's personal website, not the official site of the Peter Tatchell Foundation (PTF). The site states that Tatchell is Director of the PTF, but that this is his personal website and the views expressed on it may not reflect those of the Foundation. For PTF information, the site directs readers to www.petertatchellfoundation.org; donations to support his work at the PTF are also handled at that separate address.

What each site is for

Purpose petertatchell.net petertatchellfoundation.org
Nature Personal website of Peter Tatchell Official Peter Tatchell Foundation site
Views expressed May differ from PTF positions PTF positions
Donations to PTF Links out to the Foundation site Donation page at the Foundation address
Best for Following Tatchell's own writing and campaign updates Confirming the Foundation's official positions and supporting it

The practical rule: if you need the Foundation's official stance or want to donate, use the Foundation's site. If you want Tatchell's personal commentary and campaign notes, use petertatchell.net — but treat the views there as his own, not as PTF policy.

What you will find on the personal site

The homepage presents a running set of campaign and news items rather than a single archive. Headings visible on the home page include:

  • "Hong Kong democracy leaders jailed for 7+ years"
  • "Football Association urged to challenge gay footballer ban"
  • "Uganda: We fund new LGBT+ safehouse project"
  • "Seattle football World Cup 2026 – Campaign report"
  • "West Midlands Police apologise for past homophobic persecution"

These show the site's range: international LGBT+ and human rights cases, UK sport and policing issues, and project funding updates. The "Uganda" item is a useful example of the split described above — a project the Foundation funds is reported on Tatchell's personal site, while the Foundation's own site remains the place to confirm official details.

Common points of confusion

  • Assuming the site speaks for the PTF. The homepage explicitly separates the two. Quote the Foundation's own site if you need an organisational position.
  • Looking for a donation page here. The donation link on the personal site points to the Foundation's address, not to a separate giving system on petertatchell.net.
  • Treating the homepage as a full campaign index. The headings above are what the home page currently surfaces; for a specific campaign, check whether the item sits on the personal site or the Foundation site before citing it.

Quick check before you cite or donate

  1. Identify what you need: a personal view, a campaign update, an official PTF position, or a donation.
  2. For official positions and giving, go to petertatchellfoundation.org.
  3. For Tatchell's own writing, use petertatchell.net and attribute views to him personally.
  4. If a personal-site item describes PTF work, verify the organisational details on the Foundation site before relying on them.
