Stonewall has always relied on tactics of sheer aggression, insult, abuse and bullying to make its impact. For many years it held an annual Awards ceremony, where it heaped the crudest possible invective on [[Christians]], labelling anyone who would not capitulate to their ideas as "Bigot of the Year". Alan Craig of the Christian People's Alliance, Simon Lokodo, Lord Maginnis, Cardinal Keith O'Brien and Archbishop Philip Tartaglia were among those targeted for public denunciation in a manner copied from the most extreme communist regimes. This obnoxious ritual was only discontinued after Christians in the UK organized a letter-writing campaign to Stonewall's corporate sponsors protesting and asking for funds to be withdrawn. | Stonewall has always relied on tactics of sheer aggression, insult, abuse and bullying to make its impact.
