Green Councillor Forced to Study Equality Act After Cancelling Authors
13th June 2026
A Green councillor who compared gender-critical authors to Holocaust deniers has been forced to study the Equality Act.
Helen Elliott-Boult, a Green councillor for Stroud district council (SDC), justified the cancellation of an event featuring two authors critical of transgender ideology, set to take place at Stroud Brewery in the Cotswolds.
The event was cancelled because of fears for “the safety of members of our trans community”.
Council officers have mandated that Ms Elliott-Boult attend training, reinforcing that gender-critical views are protected by law in the UK.
I guess some views are more equal than others.
