OUTRAGE! SUPPORTS THE GUARDIAN'S FREEDOM OF INFORMATION CAMPAIGN

      "Under Jack Straw's flawed legislation, the Government and police will have discretionary power to withhold information on human rights abuses," said OutRage! spokesman Peter Tatchell.

      "The bungled police investigation into the still unsolved queer-bashing murder of gay actor Michael Boothe in 1990 will probably remain shrouded in official secrecy; as will the recent homophobic harassment waged by officers at London's West End Central police station against their gay colleagues.

      "Also likely to be exempt is information on the formulation of Government policy regarding its refusal in April to protect homosexuals against discrimination at work; and its current strategy of fighting in the European Court of Human Rights to maintain the ban on gays in the military."
