  • The Christian Institute seeks to prohibit civil servants from wearing rainbow lanyards or supporting Pride events.

  • The group claims such endorsements breach civil service impartiality standards and are politically charged.

  • LGBT+ advocates condemn the lawsuit as an attack on inclusion and warn it could reverse decades of progress.

  • This legal move follows a recent High Court ruling forbidding uniformed police from participating in Pride parades.
  • We are seeing a concerted effort to roll back LGBTQ+ rights in this country. If these efforts succeed they will take us back decades. It's nothing less than a fundamental attack on inclusion, freedom of speech, and democracy. We must not accept it.
    — Jess O’Thomson, of the Good Law Project, commented on the legal actions being taken by The Christian Institute.
