Everyone aged 16 and over will be asked in the 2021 census if they wish to declare their gender identity. There will also be a new voluntary question about sexual orientation.

Richard Page was dismissed as a magistrate in 2016 by the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice. What terrible crime had he committed? He had dared to suggest that it is better for a child to be brought up by a mother and a father than by two men. Such a statement amounts to heresy in today’s politically correct, LGBTQIA+ affirming world. ‘How could you even think such a thing?’ ‘How outdated.’ ‘How uninformed.’ ‘How biased.’ ‘How bigoted.’ ‘How homophobic.’ Etc. The mere expression of such ‘heresy’ was enough to persuade the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice that Page was not fit to serve as a magistrate. Forget his 20-year exemplary track record. He is biased and has brought the judiciary into disrepute. He should be dismissed.

Gender transition services are now official. The minority of conservative Anglicans call to maintain the Biblical definition of sexuality.
