EQUALITY campaigners welcomed the Welsh government’s plans launched today to make Wales the friendliest LGBTQ+ nation in Europe.

Deputy minister for social partnership Hannah Blythyn and Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price, along with equality activists, launched the plan at the Pride and Protest exhibition at the Museum of Welsh History in St Fagans, Cardiff.

The plan commits to ban conversion practices in Wales, seeks the devolution of gender recognition powers and will involve LGBTQ+ communities in designing public services.
