Summary Under the Gambling Act 2005, gambling operators selling into the British market must have a Gambling Commission licence to transact with, and advertise to, British consumers. The Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (April 2020) require gambling operators to comply with the Advertising Codes, administered by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). The Codes aim to ensure that gambling adverts do not: • portray, condone or encourage gambling behaviour that is socially irresponsible or could lead to financial, social or emotional harm; • exploit the susceptibilities, aspirations, credulity, inexperience or lack of knowledge of children, young persons or other vulnerable persons; • suggest that gambling can be a solution to financial concerns; • link gambling to seduction, sexual success or enhanced attractiveness; • be of particular appeal to children or young persons, especially by reflecting or being associated with youth culture; • feature anyone gambling or playing a significant role in the ad if they are under 25 years old (or appear to be under 25).

  • It Is Impossible to Know How Much of the Surge in Reported Hate Crimes
    It is impossible to know how much of the surge in reported hate crimes against LGBTQ people is due to escalating harassment and violence, and how much is down to the increased willingness of victims to inform the authorities. What we do know that is that recorded homophobic and transphobic hate crimes have jumped every year since 2015, and yet with an estimated four in five still going unreported, the already grisly figures only hint at a far bleaker reality. The incidents vary in nature and severity: from abuse hurled at someone identified as LGBTQ because of their appearance, or mannerisms, or a fleeting or profound show of affection towards a partner; to gay men being beaten and robbed, as happened in a suspected homophobic attack on the streets of Edinburgh last month, or a trans man savagely attacked in Bournemouth earlier this year. “According to our research, many experienced verbal harassment, physical abuse, threatening messages, and damage to property,” says Eloise Stonborough of the LGBTQ civil rights organisation Stonewall. In all cases, there is often a visceral sense of humiliation linked to a sudden invasive reminder that your innate characteristics still drive a section of society to violent disgust. After all the undoubted progress, anti-LGBTQ bigotry remains a kind of secret authoritarian regime in this country. It compels many LGBTQ people to alter their behaviour in order to quietly blend in, or to pretend they are something they are not to relatives, friends and colleagues in order to avoid experiences ranging from the uncomfortable to the outright menacing.

  • British Naturism Written Evidence
    Written evidence submitted by British Naturism [MISS0067] British Naturism written evidence Executive summary 1. Little or no progress has been made in improving body image over the past decade indicating that a radical rethink is necessary; 2. There is substantial evidence that a more relaxed attitude towards the body would result in significant improvements and there is no evidence of any deleterious effects; 3. Policy is not going to work unless firmly evidence-based and that must take precedence over fear of causing offence; 4. Significant improvements are possible at little or no cost. British Naturism 5. Naturism is everyday life without any requirement for clothing. There are many motivations for practising Naturism including freedom, convenience, comfort, health, and belief.1 6. British Naturism (BN) is the internationally recognised UK national naturist organisation. We exist to unite and support naturists, to protect, and provide more naturist venues, to make social nudity acceptable in the UK and to provide comprehensive information on naturism and naturists around the world. We have over 9000 active members and represent over 4 million naturists nationwide. BN is a member of the International Naturist Federation which covers 37 countries worldwide. 7. We have been working on body image and body knowledge related issues for at least twenty years. 8. We are grateful to the Committee for accepting a late submission from us. Overview 9. The seriousness of the poor body image problem is now better appreciated than it was, but comparisons with past government reports2 show that disturbingly little progress, if any, has been made. It is unlikely that continuing with the same strategies will produce the significant improvements necessary, and a radical rethink is required.

  • Call for Evidence the Role of the GEO: Embedding Equalities Across Government
    Written evidence submitted by LGB Alliance [GEO0036] Call for evidence The role of the GEO: embedding equalities across Government Executive summary 1. Introduction Who we are, why we exist and what are our key concerns 1.1 This submission is made by LGB Alliance. LGB Alliance is a group representing thousands of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals who share grave concerns about the loss of our rights. If you have any questions regarding our response, we can be reached at [email protected] 1.2 We are particularly troubled by the drive to replace, in law and in wider public usage, the word “sex” (meaning biological sex) with “gender identity” or “gender expression”. Eliminating the word “sex” has the effect of erasing homosexuality. We are long-time gay and lesbian activists who fought for the rights of people with a same-sex sexual orientation. We are alarmed to see these rights being eroded. The structure and function of the GEO and its location in the Cabinet Office: how effectively does this enable it to support cross-departmental work on equalities, including the collection and analysis of equalities data? 2. GEO as the “unwanted orphan” 2.1 Aside from a brief period from 2007-2010 when it was an independent department, the GEO has been moved around between several Government Departments in Whitehall. It has been moved from the Home Office to DCMS to DfE to DfID and most recently to the Cabinet Office. 2.2 These frequent moves have undermined the effectiveness of GEO. The damaging effects of constant moves are highlighted in the inquiry into “The role of Minister for Women and Equalities and the place of GEO in government” https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmselect/cmwomeq/356/3560 4.htm 2.3 One serious concern is that civil servants who do not have dedicated GEO roles within Cabinet Office may lack the opportunity to become subject-matter experts.
