Barrister’s unlawful discrimination case sees levels of engagement rare for an employment tribunal
against her chambers Garden Court and Stonewall has seen levels of engagement rare for an employment tribunal.the wider debateIn the one corner is Bailey, a lesbian and founder of the LGB Alliance, set up in direct opposition to Stonewall and. In the other is a chambers that prides itself on being progressive and the LGBTQ+ charity.
It reflects the fact that for the LGB Alliance and its allies, the charity is their nemesis. Discussing Stonewall’s Diversity Champions scheme for employers, which GCC was a member of, Bailey told the tribunal: “The inducement that Stonewall offers with its scheme is reputational protection or reputational harm [for the employer]. It’s like a criminal protection racket.”
Reflecting the wider hostilities aroused by the topic, judge Sarah Goodman has been forced to intervene because of abuse – a taunt/threat towards Bailey and a misgendering of Omambala’s junior barrister – from people watching online. In the other, she said: “Stonewall recently hired Morgan Page, a male-bodied person who ran workshops with the sole aim of coaching heterosexual men who identify as lesbians on how they can coerce young lesbians into having sex with them. Page called [the workshop] ‘overcoming the cotton ceiling’ and it is popular.”
Hochhauser and McGahey’s interpretations were rejected by Cooper and in testy exchanges he and McGahey also clashed over whether the workshops referred to in the second tweet involved “coercion”, as Bailey wrote, or “persuasion”, as she suggested.
