‘Hundreds’ of National Trust Members Quit in Protest Over Gay Pride Campaign
5th August 2017
Hundreds of National Trust (NT) members have reportedly quit over the charity’s decision to require volunteers at one property to wear LGBT lanyards.
The NT has found itself at the centre of controversy after volunteers at Norfolk’s Felbrigg Hall were asked to wear the rainbow-coloured neckwear to celebrate the last lord of the manor, Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer, who was gay.
But the decision provoked a furious backlash from volunteers who accused the trust of “outing” the late owner and infringing on their political freedoms.
The march toward a totalitarian Britain isn’t as smooth as they would have you believe.
