Here's a fun Stonewall anecdote Simon Edge has told: He was at an event to celebrate gay marriage being passed in the UK. Whilst there he was approached by a certain lord, heavily hinted, though not confirmed to be Lord Michael Cashman, who mused on what Stonewall's next cause might be. Now some even at that time were of the opinion that they should just gradually wind down, or maybe focus on international advocacy. Lord Cashman (allegedly) suggested they might campaign to allow the spouses of gay or lesbian lords or ladies also adopt the title. This isn't a privilege afforded to straight couples, that's why they had to establish the Thatcher Baronetcy. No wonder they started focussing on trans stuff, when that was the best some of their ranks could come up with.
