The six-colour rainbow ”diversity’ flag on display at a homosexual rally.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A rainbow flag has been raised in Leicester to mark the beginning of February as ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans History Month’.<\/p>\n

The flag was raised on Monday by Labour Councillor Manjula Sood, a previous Lord Mayor of Leicester, and currently assistant Mayor and\u00a0Vice Chair of Equal Opportunities, Education and Social Services for Leicester City Council<\/p>\n

She said<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0“The city council is committed to celebrating Leicester’s diversity.”<\/p>\n

How celebrating sodomy will increase a sense of city cohesion within Leicester’s Christian and Muslim communities was not stated.<\/p>\n

Cllr Sood is\u00a0Leicester City\u2019s only female Asian elected councillor, a position held since 1996. \u00a0She is of course a Hindu with strong links to India. \u00a0According to her biography<\/a><\/strong>, she has partaken in the last three International Women’s Day.<\/p>\n

\"Councillor<\/a>
Councillor Manjjula Sood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cllr Sood is very busy promoting diversity. \u00a0She is Trustee and an Executive Director for the Leicester Council of Faiths, Vice Chair and Women\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The rainbow flag is also flying outside Leicestershire police headquarters in Enderby, as well as County Hall in Glenfield.<\/p>\n

Leicestershire’s assistant chief constable Steph (sic) Morgan, who speaks on LGBT issues for the Association of Chief Police Officers, explained away\u00a0his and the council’s flying of the flag like this<\/a><\/strong>: “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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

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<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

LGBT History month provides an opportunity for homosexual activists to promote perversion mainly in schools, as Christian Voice has reported previously<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
