Stonewall UK, which in recent years has been at the tip of the spear in the fight to transify the UK, is slashing their staffing by 50% and even then may be in trouble.
Why? USAID cuts. Stonewall UK is a USAID front with some outside donors.
Stonewall could be forced to cut up to half of its staff after President Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid, The Times understands.
Workers at the LGBTQ+ charity were told on Thursday that restructuring would take place, and that only roles with dedicated funding would be safe.
Simon Blake, the chief executive of Stonewall, made the announcement in an office-wide Teams call, which was said to have left its 114 staff “shellshocked”.
Sources said they believed up to half of the workforce could be made redundant in the move, which they were told would “secure the future of Stonewall for the long term as a significant LGBTQ+ organisation able to deliver impactful campaigns and legislative change across the UK and further afield”.
Insiders believed the announcement was linked to decisions made by Trump over the provision of foreign aid. Blake has previously warned of the impact Trump’s move would have on Stonewall’s operations.
Why, you may ask, is the United States government the biggest provider of funding to Stonewall, and organization that has been vilifying women and lesbians in particular for a decade?
Stonewall UK began as a gay rights organization and reached its primary goal of normalizing gays and gay marriage in 2014. Since then it has focused on transgenderism, eliminating same-sex space, putting men into women's space, criticizing lesbian rights, transing the kids (although not as much as Mermaids) and promoting the idea that lesbians are bigots for not dating transgender "women." It is funded primarily by the UK and US governments, and in the process, fundamentally changed British culture and law.
Funding from the US came to Stonewall through the Global Equality Fund (GEF), administered by the US state department, which has given the charity more than half a million pounds in the past three years. The GEF focuses on “advancing LGBTI rights around the world” and is a pooled fund with contributions from numerous countries and private businesses, but it has not published accounts since 2015.
In recent years the GEF has been Stonewall’s largest funder. Charity accounts show the GEF increased its funding for Stonewall year on year, handing over £137,254 in 2021-22, rising to £204,442 in 2022-23 and reaching £233,583 in the most recent set of accounts.
The shift to trans rights seems to have drawn in the US funding, aligning nicely with the Biden administration's priorities. Transing the gay away has been a foundational goal of the modern LGBTQIA+/- movement, and it likely wouldn't have been so successful without USAID funding.
Stonewall was once a highly regarded gay rights charity, whose work culminated in the legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2014.

Since then, the charity has prioritised trans rights over lesbian, gay and bisexual people. In response, Britain is turning its back on the… pic.twitter.com/tUCv5GEW9C
USAID is worse than the fever dreams of Joe McCarthy. The biggest difference between McCarthy's accusations during the 1950s and today is that we can actually provide a list of the communists who are riddled throughout our government agencies.
2/ The effect of this funding was to distort UK political discourse at the highest levels presenting ministers with outright lies. You can see the former in the "just a bit of admin" lie re GRCs and the latter in Ruth Hunt lies about puberty blockers https://t.co/OaanTee1Df

As an American, I have been outraged about where our money has been going. Were I a European I would be outraged about what the United States government has been funding since it has been focused mainly on radicalizing policies in a way that destroys their culture. It is not an exaggeration to say that without US government funding, through the Department of Education, Health and Human Services, and USAID, the whole trangender/alphabet movement would have collapsed years ago.
4/ When others stepped into the breach and desperately tried to protect proto gay/lesbian youth, Stonewall unleashed the hounds. Memorably so in the case of the heroic women at transgender trend. https://t.co/dioTc6IIor

Over the past few years, the same-sex community has been fighting the alphabet crowd, which is mainly driven by heterosexual leftists whose focus is not just on radical DEI and "decolonization" but transing the gay away by recruiting mentally ill people to undermine women's rights, lesbian spaces (it is illegal in many places to have lesbian-only spaces for book clubs, dating clubs, sports and locker rooms. And prisons. And any place where sex is segregated.
Its a good job this traitorous **** had blocked me already as I would lose my account

The CEO of Stonewall does not think lesbians should be able to exclude straight males.

USAID has been propping all this up. Without American "foreign aid," this movement would have died on its own, killed by its own insanity.
Stonewall has also lost funding elsewhere. Its most recent accounts said it incurred a deficit of £858,000 in the 2023-24 financial year. This rose from £437,000 the previous year.
Income from fees, for example from its Diversity Champions workplace inclusion programme, fell between 2023 and 2024, as did income from other programmes.
The Times revealed last month that every major government department had left the Diversity Champions scheme after concerns about the level of influence on Whitehall’s internal policies.
In other words, Stonewall has basically set British policy on all these issues, and could only have done so with the financial support of USAID.
Stonewall turned out to be a USAID front group. For all the talk of Russian interference in Western politics, it is the United States that has been the primary funder for undermining Western culture.
