Ruth Hunt, Baroness Hunt of Bethnal Green

As Deputy Chief Executive, Hunt was involved in Stonewall's campaign on the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill in England and Wales.

[14] She was involved in Stonewall's campaign on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008, legalising lesbian access to fertility treatment.

Bolkiah was proposing to introduce the death penalty for sodomy but she argued that there was not "a mandate for the boycott" and "We only implement actions that we can calculate will have an impact.

"[22] She publicly apologised days before the 2015 general election after Stonewall was criticised for publishing an online campaign graphic which suggested that only the Labour Party substantially supported LGBT equality in its manifesto.

[23] In 2019, some donors were reported by The Sunday Times to have stopped funding Stonewall as a consequence of Hunt's position on trans equality.

The book was dedicated to "the countless queer people who continue to find the courage to speak truth to power ... We are channels of peace and we bring so much love to the world.

"[26] In April 2024, campaigners started a change.org petition calling for the former chief executive of Stonewall to be expelled from the House of Lords following the Cass Review.
