Reading now: 810
A new report by OpenDemocracy has revealed the UK government’s furlough scheme, put in place at the beginning of the pandemic, donated “tens of thousands” to anti-LGBTQ+ churches in a move described as “reckless and irresponsible.” Churches included in the government scheme had previously described homosexuality as “demonic”, as well as having a track record of supporting conversion therapy.
The controversial Jesus House church, which Labour leader Keir Starmer was criticised for visiting due to its history of performing exorcisms on LGBTQ+ people, was provided with approximately £10,000 a month in December 2020 and January 2021.
The Destiny Church Trust in Scotland also received funding despite the group’s failed plans to host anti-LGBTQ+.
