She captioned it: “The fight for equality is far from over. Whatever you do, however you do it, it’s time to come out in support of LGBT.”
Earlier this year Toksvig celebrated her 10th wedding anniversary and marked it by writing: “Just wanted to thank everyone who fought for equal marriage. It’s been the best thing ever for me.”

The campaign follows Stonewall’s LGBT In Britain report, which found one in five LGBT people has experienced a hate crime or incident in the last year, while two in five trans people have.
