Kezia Dugdale, incoming chair of LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall, has apologised after expressing "huge respect" for JK Rowling in a Guardian interview. The former Scottish Labour leader faced backlash from trans advocates and gender-critical feminists, with critics accusing her of making Stonewall "toothless and irrelevant". Dugdale stated she should have been "unequivocal" that she would never condone behaviour causing harm to the LGBTQ+ community, expressing regret for the "worry, anger and upset" caused.
