Scottish Sun journalist Bill Leckie has been dropped from Stonewall's Journalist of the Year shortlist.

Mr Leckie, one of five nominees for the award, was criticised in a 2007 Stonewall Scotland report for poking fun at a drag queen bingo night.

In 2008, he criticised the use of taxpayers' money on treatment for trans prisoners

Has anyone read the comments?

Seems Stonewall is not as popular or as representitive as it claims.

Som of the commnts were decidedly angry.

Yeah, alot of people are angry at Stonewall. Not a surprise really when they don't support marriage equality.
