Each June, our neighbourhoods are swamped with Pride flags as councils, shops and other businesses signal their support for LGBTQ+ ideology.


It’s time to stop this.


Rainbow flags are bad enough – but 'Progress Pride' flags add transgender stripes – a movement that has done untold damage to gender-questioning children in recent years. They also add brown and black stripes, wrongly conflating racial identity with sexual and gender identities.


These flags are particularly offensive, and ugly to boot.


Christian Concern is objecting to a massive display of Progress Pride flags planned for Regent Street in 2024. These divisive, gaudy displays are completely inappropriate for this historic, iconic street at the centre of London. They make everyone who doesn’t support the whole LGBTQ+ agenda feel unwelcome.


There are many good reasons not to allow these displays:

  • They send the message that Christians, and others with historic beliefs about sexuality and gender are not welcome

  • They even cause division amongst the groups they claim to represent, many of whom are concerned about gender ideology

  • They are particularly ugly and not in keeping with the historic character of central London

It’s not just Westminster that flies these divisive flags.


But by signing this petition you are sending a message to councils around the nation that these garish displays should be stopped.


If you sign the petition and tick the box to receive updates from Christian Concern, we will also be able to send you more information on how to oppose Progress Pride flags being flown from government buildings, businesses and churches near you.


Sign the petition to tell Westminster City Council that these displays of Progress Pride flags should be stopped.

Stop divisive Progress Pride flag displays

Dear Councillor Adam Hug,


Please stop authorising large scale displays of Pride Progress flags in Westminster, in particular Regent Street.


Pride Progress flags are divisive. They do not promote inclusion – in fact, they exacerbate tensions between people of different characteristics – religions, sexual orientations and gender identity.


Many people experience these flags as an attack on historic, traditional beliefs about sex and gender. They send the message that people holding these views – which are worthy of respect in a democratic society – are not welcome.


Please block these displays in 2024 and in the future so that everyone can feel welcome in Regent Street and the surrounding areas.
