Impose trade sanctions on countries which have introduced anti-LGBT legislation

Closed 83 signatures

What the petition asks

Have a nationwide boycott of all UK imports and exports to/from countries such as Russia and Poland who have oppressive anti-LGBT legislature which puts the lives and human rights of their LGBT+ citizens at risk.
I want the government to do this because we live in a mostly forward-thinking and accepting society and many of the people in these countries aren’t afforded such basic human rights. It sickens me to imagine the pain and suffering these people have to go through on a daily basis.
