The LGB Alliance is a British advocacy group and registered charity founded in 2019 in opposition to the policies of LGBT rights charity Stonewall on transgender issues.[2] Its founders are Bev Jackson, Kate Harris, Allison Bailey, Malcolm Clark and Ann Sinnott. The LGB Alliance describes its objective as "asserting the right of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men to define themselves as same-sex attracted", and states that such a right is threatened by "attempts to introduce confusion between biological sex and the notion of gender".[2] The group has opposed a ban on conversion therapy for trans people in the UK,[3] opposed the use of puberty blockers for children,[4] and opposed gender recognition reform.[5]
The LGB Alliance has been described by the Labour Campaign for Trans Rights as transphobic, in a statement signed by a number of Labour MPs, and by articles in four scholarly journals as "trans-exclusionary" or "anti-trans".[6][7][8][9] Hope not Hate and the Trades Union Congress have described the group as anti-trans.[10][11] It has also been described by several members of parliament, journalists, and LGBT organisations and activists as a hate group.[12][13][14][15] The group has received support from a number of UK politicians, including Boris Johnson,[16] Rosie Duffield,[17] Sarah Ludford,[18] and Joanna Cherry.[17]
The LGB Alliance was granted charitable status by the Charity Commission for England and Wales in April 2021, which was controversial with LGBT groups in the UK, fifty of whom signed an open letter condemning it.[19] A hearing for an appeal against its charitable status started in the First-tier Tribunal in September 2022.[20][21] The appeal was dismissed in July 2023. It found that Mermaids, which had made the appeal, did not have legal standing to challenge the decision made by the Charity Commission.[22][23][24] The judges also said they had been unable to reach agreement on whether LGB Alliance qualified for charitable status and therefore had not ruled on that matter.[25]

The case of the LGB Alliance charity is of note. The trans-exclusionary position of the organization engendered significant debate among the LGBT+ community in Scotland.
some trans‐exclusionary LGB movements have begun to form around TERF ideology (for example, the LGB Alliance in the United Kingdom and the Red LGB movement in Spain).
