In 2010, Bill Leckie was nominated for 'Journalist of the Year' at the Stonewall Awards for an article he wrote on the gay Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas. The nomination was withdrawn following criticisms from trans campaigners who objected to articles Leckie has written mocking a bingo night for drag queens and arguing against taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgery for prisoners.
