Asexual and ‘aromantic’ flags to be hung in public buildings under Welsh Labour plan

Government accused of prioritising ‘woke virtue-signalling’.

The Welsh Labour Government has been accused of prioritising “woke virtue-signalling” after it ordered public buildings to fly flags celebrating asexual and “aromantic” people.

The party’s LGBTQ+ action plan calls for “appropriate flags” to be raised in government, council and NHS buildings.

The plan said the flags of “underrepresented communities” should be flown, including those representing bisexual, asexual and “aromantic” people. Aromantics experience little or no romantic attraction but are able to enjoy sexual relationships.

David TC Davies, the Welsh Secretary, accused the party of prioritising virtue signalling over tackling NHS waiting lists in the country.

“Just this week it was revealed that many Welsh patients have no choice but to go to English hospitals to receive treatment, rather than continue to languish on a Welsh NHS waiting list,” he said.

“It would appear that Labour’s prioritising woke virtue signalling over reducing the UK’s worst waiting lists. Labour desperately needs to focus on the most pressing issues facing families.”
