LGBT History Month – #5 – I am constantly consumed with horror at the way Archbishops have treated gay people

This badge was made in 2016 in response to a comment made by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the Greenbelt festival. Whilst being interviewed by Kate Bottley he is reported to have said, “I am constantly consumed with horror at the way in which the Church has treated the gay community.”
The crowd at Greenbelt erupted into applause at this notion and no doubt, Justin Welby went on his way rejoicing that he had connected with the Greenbelt audience.
However, it is the case that the things that Archbishops have said and done have often had a detrimental effect on the lives of LGBT people. This badge repurposes Justin Welby’s sentiment to recognise that.
