LGBT+ Liberal Democrats
LGBT+ Liberal Democrats is the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gender & sexuality minorities equality group of the Liberal Democrats. The organisation is one of several ''Specified Associated Organisations'', giving it special status, and has been referred to as one of the "most important" such groups within the party. As well as campaigning internally and UK-wide on LGBT+ issues, the group offers mentoring and advice to the party's candidates.
== Formation and early years ==
Initially known as ''Democrats for Lesbian & Gay Action'', or ''DELGA'' for short, the organisation was formed in 1988 from the groups "Liberal Lesbian & Gay Action" and "Social Democrats for Lesbian & Gay Action". The parent parties of those organisations, the Liberal Party and SDP, had merged to form the ''Social and Liberal Democrats'', known generally as the Democrats. The name was officially altered to be ''Liberal Democrats for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Action'' in 1996, including bisexual and transgender people in the title and reflecting the renaming of the party to the Liberal Democrats. However, the shorthand DELGA remained in use until 2011, when the organisation renamed to "LGBT+ Liberal Democrats".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AGM outcome a plus )〕
One of the early campaigns by the group was "16 or bust". Started in 1991, it pushed to lower the age of consent for sex between gay men from 21 to 16, equal with heterosexual couples. This was in contrast to the approach of organisations such as Stonewall who were in favour of lowering the age to 18, seeing it as an achievable compromise.〔 Although the first round of votes in parliament only lowered the age of consent to 18, it was finally bought in line with opposite-sex couples in 2000.
