What is petertatchell.net?

Updated

petertatchell.net is the personal website of Peter Tatchell, described on its home page as Director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation. It is a separate site from the Foundation: the homepage states that this is his personal website, that the views expressed may not reflect those of the PTF, and directs readers to petertatchellfoundation.org for more about the Foundation and for donations. Use it for Tatchell's own commentary and campaign reporting; use the Foundation site for organisational information and giving.

What the site covers

The homepage presents a stream of human rights and LGBT+ campaigning items rather than a general biography or archive. Headlines visible on the 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”

The range shows the site's focus: legal and political developments affecting LGBT+ people and democracy advocates, sports-related campaigning, and project updates such as the Uganda safehouse. Items are written as news and campaign reports, with the personal-site framing meaning they carry Tatchell's own perspective.

Personal site vs Foundation site

Question petertatchell.net petertatchellfoundation.org
Whose site is it? Peter Tatchell's personal website The Peter Tatchell Foundation
What is it for? Campaign news, reports and commentary Information about the Foundation
Do views represent the PTF? No — the homepage says they may not Organisational position
Where do donations go? Homepage links out to the PTF donation page Donation page hosted here

The distinction matters if you are citing the site: attribute personal statements to Tatchell, and check the Foundation site before treating something as the organisation's official position.

How to use it

Start at the homepage to see current campaign items, then open individual posts for detail — for example, the Malaysia item on pro-LGBT+ protesters arrested, which appears in the site's international section. If you want to support the work, follow the donation link the homepage provides to the Foundation's site rather than assuming a giving mechanism exists on the personal site.
