Shock as NHS bosses unfurl banner featuring 21 genders or sexualities in hospital reception
by Joe Hadden, The Sun:
NHS bosses have unfurled a banner featuring flags for 21 genders or sexualities.
Terms for those who say they do not belong to any sex, or are a combination of more than one, are included.
Patients at struggling Royal Stoke Hospital blasted its welcome banner as “woke pandering”.
The more familiar Gay Pride rainbow flag is featured alongside a host of lesser-known “identities”.
They are under a sign that reads: “Everyone is welcome here.”
But one patient told The Sun yesterday: “Half of these flags and sexualities look like they were dreamt up on the back of a napkin.
“People are waiting months and even years for treatment but the NHS is more interested in woke pandering than taking care of patients it seems.”
University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust — branded one of the country’s worst performing — insisted the flags help patients “be themselves”.
The trust said the banner shows support for LGBTQ+ communities.
