Christian campaigners have criticised plans by Westminster Council to once more plaster Regent Street with gigantic Progress Pride flags.

On 22 June the present display of British Union Jack flags, that are flying to mark 80 years since VE Day, can be removed to make way for the Progress Pride flags.

The Progress Pride flag is the updated version of the Rainbow flag, featuring chevrons representing transgender people, non-whites and folks with AIDs.

Christian Concern said the flags represented “a secular religious ideology” and promoted division between those that follow that ideology and those that don’t. The Christian group also noted that in previous years the Pride flags have remained in place beyond their allotted time.

Christian Concern accused Westminster Council of attempting to indoctrinate and confuse primary-school age children with trans ideologies, something forbidden by the Cass Review. Children visiting Hamleys toy shop can be exposed to symbols that might be “illegal to show and display in schools”.

Westminster Council is led by Stuart Love, who has previously said he’s “proud to be called too woke” and has referred to presiding over “Wokeminster Council”.

Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of the Christian Legal Centre, Christian Concern’s sister organisation, said, “Many people experience these flags as an attack on historic, traditional beliefs about sex and gender. They send the message that folks holding these views – that are worthy of respect in a democratic society – aren’t welcome. “The majority of the general public have no idea the highly controversial and harmful symbolism presented by the Progress Pride flag. At the center of the flag is the trans flag – pink for ladies, blue for boys and white for the ‘transition’ phase.

“This ideology has been discredited by the Cass Review, the closure of the Tavistock, and most recently Supreme Court ruling. When will the Crown estate meet up with the remainder of society?”  Christian Concern added that ought to Westminster Council proceed with the display, as seems likely, then it’s going to initiate a legal challenge.
