A rainbow flag has been raised in Leicester to mark the beginning of February as ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans History Month’.
The flag was raised on Monday by Labour Councillor Manjula Sood, a previous Lord Mayor of Leicester, and currently assistant Mayor and Vice Chair of Equal Opportunities, Education and Social Services for Leicester City Council
She said: “The city council is committed to celebrating Leicester’s diversity.”
How celebrating sodomy will increase a sense of city cohesion within Leicester’s Christian and Muslim communities was not stated.
Cllr Sood is Leicester City’s only female Asian elected councillor, a position held since 1996. She is of course a Hindu with strong links to India. According to her biography, she has partaken in the last three International Women’s Day.
Cllr Sood is very busy promoting diversity. She is Trustee and an Executive Director for the Leicester Council of Faiths, Vice Chair and Women’s Officer for the local Constituency Labour Party, Member of Asian Refuge Shelter, Member of the Afro-Caribbean Working Party (what has she to offer there?) Member of the Children and Young Persons scrutiny committee, Member of the Leicester Domestic Violence forum, naturally, Member of the Faith Regeneration Advisory Group, engaged with developing a multi religion centre in Leicester (very New Age, that) and Member of the Inter Faith Network UK since 1995.
The rainbow flag is also flying outside Leicestershire police headquarters in Enderby, as well as County Hall in Glenfield.
Leicestershire’s assistant chief constable Steph (sic) Morgan, who speaks on LGBT issues for the Association of Chief Police Officers, explained away his and the council’s flying of the flag like this: “Flying the rainbow flag together in this way is a symbol of our joint commitment to the LGBT community locally and is part of ongoing work with our local authority partners to create a just and fair society for all.
“As national LGBT strategic policing lead, I was pleased to see 10 police forces, including Leicestershire police, featured in the Stonewall 100 Index of gay-friendly employers in January 2013.”
Concentrating on such divisive issues as being ‘gay-friendly’ may explain why the police now have no time to investigate internet fraud and why there seem to have been so many recent financial scandals involving senior police officers.
LGBT History month provides an opportunity for homosexual activists to promote perversion mainly in schools, as Christian Voice has reported previously.

I prefer to think of the rainbow as a sign of God’s mercy to us, following the flood that He sent on the earth as the earth (not much different to now) was full of evil and violence. These people will one day have to give an account (as we all will) about how could they and why did they promote lifestyles that involve what the Bible clearly describes as an abomination (and that’s just the OT).
”The city council is committed to celebrating Leicester’s diversity.”
What does that actually mean ?
Any local authority is committed to serving the interests of its ratepayers. But it is not their business to encourage particular races or nations to move in or to leave, in fact it would probably be illegal to do so .
So how can they be committed to promoting Leicester’s diversity ?
And if it really means that the council likes to have a party sometimes to “celebrate” the mixture of people currently living there (over which they had and have and will have little control), this sounds like an excuse for some jollies, dignified out of all proportion to what it really is.
