There seems to be a full on hate campaign against Peter Tatchell, one of the most honorable Green Party activists I know, disagreement is one thing, a full scale assault on the truth is another.

Peter is being attacked and smeared by bloggers and needs support. I've been a fan of his work for many years and his record of campaigning is beyond impressive. As well as his 42 year fight for human rights, Peter is now Human Rights Spokesperson of the Green Party, and the Parliamentary Party Candidate for Oxford West. Keep up your excellent work! This is a comment from Peter...

Tatchell was mentioned in 'Out Of Place', which contained a chapter on gender, sexuality and terrorism.

This is a guest post by MoreMediaNonsense There’s been an interesting discussion on Socialist Unity about (again) the Peter Tatchell row. Andy Newman of Respect published a piece agreeing in some points with the nasty (and since withdrawn) “Gay Imperialism” attack on Peter Tatchell by Jin Haritaworn, Tamsila Tauqir and Esra Erdem. Andy’s view on this...

Earlier today, Xeni spotted an item by gay rights activist Peter Tatchell, encouraging black people to embrace the LGBT status of some of its heroes. Tatchell's been in the news of late for another reason, too: another tussle with fellow progressive activists. The subject is Tatchell's vocal opposition to Islamic fundamentalism, assailed in "Gay Imperialism: Gender...

Earlier today, Xeni spotted an item by British gay rights activist Peter Tatchell, encouraging black people to embrace the LGBT status of some of its heroes. It's typical Tatchell stuff--as one commenter pointed out, he's a controversial sort. I'd already started hammering out this post yesterday, in fact, about the second reason Tatchell's been in the news of late: yet...

A response to Peter Tatchell

Yes, I know, we’ve had a lot of discussion about Peter Tatchell this week. But I think what he had to say in a speech - presented at the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, 28 October 2009 - defending universal human rights against charges of “cultural imperialism” by cultural relativists, is very important. And, in a perverse [...]
