Decision follows complaint to Lord Speaker’s office by gender-critical Tory peer
The House of Lords has removed Pride flags from its canteen following a complaint by a peer.
At the start of June, the River Restaurant was decked out in the banners to celebrate the beginning of Pride month.
However, among the banners used was the “Progress Pride” flag, which includes the colours of the trans movement and is seen by many as indicative of support for gender ideology – the idea that sex is a spectrum and that people can change their identity.
Baroness Nicholson, a Tory peer, complained to the Lord Speaker, Lord McFall, and officials agreed that they should be taken down as they had not been sanctioned by the authorities.
