GALHA's work
GALHA promotes Humanism and equality for LGBT people and for the non-religious, working to combat prejudice and discrimination against lesbians and gay men. In furtherance of these aims it holds regular open, public meetings with speakers and discussions, lobbies MPs, the media and others. It makes submissions to government committees and responds to government consultative documents concerning LGBT rights and the rights of non-religious people. It supports demonstrations advancing these rights. It provides stalls and information at as many lesbian/gay, Humanist and other events (such as annual Prides) as resources allow.
GALHA organises an annual lunch and residential weekend conference open to the public to discuss the direction of the organisation.
