Stop flying ideological flags on council premises

Statement

Stop flying the so called "Progress Pride" flag in Twickenham. The LBRUT Council should adhere to the Nolan principles of political neutrality and only fly national flags.

Details

The "Progress Pride" flag is deeply offensive to gays, lesbians and women. It is well known for representing a deeply regressive, homophobic and misognist ideology. It represents those who do not believe that there are two sexes, who believe any man should have access to women's spaces and sports, who encourage the unnecessary medicalisation of children likely to grow up gay or lesbian, and who want to silence anyone who disagrees. The Council should not want to display any such flags - perhaps Councillors don't even know what it stands for?
