McNally sex-by-deception judgement: News/Blog post roundup
Below is a roundup of all the coverage of the McNally appeal result that I am aware of. This should be a complete list, so if I have missed any please let me know.
Many of the articles and blog posts contain swearing or homophobic or transphobic language, although usually as part of the comments rather than in the main body of the text.
Other than the first three items which are notable because of where they have been published, entries are listed in date order.
