Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A mobilisation of the homosexual and lesbian vote against homophobic MPs was urged yesterday by Outrage, the "gay rights" campaign group.
Publishing a list of the country's 30 most marginal constituencies, where the homosexual and lesbian vote could make a difference, Outrage's Peter Tatchell urged supporters to "queer the vote" by getting on to the electoral register in advance of next month's annual deadline. He said that candidates should be quizzed on their attitude towards gay issues, and people should vote against homophobes. The list of "target" key marginals included a number of Labour and Liberal Democrat constituencies - along with the voting record of their MPs on three test issues, including Section 28 of the 1988 Local Government Act, banning authorities from promoting homosexuality.
