What topics and campaigns are covered on Peter Tatchell's website?

Updated

petertatchell.net is the personal website of Peter Tatchell, Director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation. The site states that the views expressed there may not reflect those of the Foundation, and it directs readers to petertatchellfoundation.org for more about the organisation. Its content is a mix of human rights and LGBT+ news, campaign reports, project updates, and advocacy work — with a strong international focus alongside UK policing and sports stories.

Human rights and LGBT+ news

The homepage features current news items on legal cases and arrests affecting LGBT+ people and democracy activists. Examples visible on the site include:

  • Hong Kong democracy leaders jailed for 7+ years — coverage of sentencing in a democracy case.
  • Pro-LGBT+ protesters arrested in Malaysia — reporting on arrests of protesters.
  • Uganda: We fund new LGBT+ safehouse project — an update on a project the site says it funds.

These items show the site's pattern: short news-style posts that combine reporting with the advocacy angle of the Foundation's work.

Campaign reports

The site publishes campaign reports on sports and human rights, such as:

  • Football Association urged to challenge gay footballer ban — an advocacy push aimed at the FA.
  • Seattle football World Cup 2026 – Campaign report — a report on campaign work tied to the 2026 World Cup.

If you want to understand how the site links sports institutions to LGBT+ rights advocacy, these reports are the clearest examples.

Police and UK advocacy updates

UK-focused advocacy also appears, for example West Midlands Police apologise for past homophobic persecution — an update on a police apology connected to historical treatment of gay people.

How to use the site

  • Follow current issues: start from the homepage, where the latest news and campaign items are listed by headline.
  • Support the work: the site asks readers to consider a donation to the Peter Tatchell Foundation via petertatchellfoundation.org/donate.
  • Check organisational context: the site distinguishes Peter Tatchell's personal views from the Foundation's positions, so use petertatchellfoundation.org when you need the organisation's official information.

The site does not present itself as a comprehensive archive or database; it reads as an ongoing feed of news, campaign reports, and project updates. For the most current topics, check the homepage listings directly.
