A London council has been threatened with legal action after hanging trans-inclusive Pride flags around Regent Street from this weekend.

Group Christian Concern says Westminster Council is 'indoctrinating' visitors to the famous West End location and breaching planning control.

The Crown Estate, which owns most of the property on Regent Street, lodged plans in March to hoist hundreds of flags in 20 locations between mid-June and mid-July to support Pride events.

But after being permitted by Westminster Council in mid-May, Christian Concern says the council is opening itself up to potential legal action.

Christian Concern has previously made the point to the council that the Cass Review prohibits the indoctrination and confusion of primary school children with trans ideologies.

But the group claims: 'The flags do just that, exposing the hundreds of thousands of children who walk up and down Regent Street, including those who visit Hamleys, to a message and symbols which will be unlawful to teach and display in schools.'

Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said: 'Many people experience these flags as an attack on historic, traditional beliefs about sex and gender.

'They send the message that people holding these views, which are worthy of respect in a democratic society, are not welcome.

I wonder how many children have seen a Pride flag and instantly became transgender.
