Hi!

So the petition is growing and we are building momentum! Here's a quick update on what's going on behind the scenes.

We've started to attract media coverage with LGBT+ online newspaper Pink News publishing a story yesterday. You can read it in full here. 

I've had a call this morning from World Intellectual Property Review (WIPR) to comment on an article they've just published, which can be found here. Apparently, there has been a lot of coverage on how IP officers rule on what they deem offensive so it seems to be a hot topic right now!

Your continued support is very much appreciated! If you could take a few minutes to share the petition with anyone you think might like to sign it, that would be amazing! Let's keep this building and let the IPO know just how many of us want the decision reversed.
