In a joint statement, the store's trustees said: "The bookshop is an inclusive organisation that wants to share the Christian faith with everyone and we do not want to advocate or condemn anyone on the basis of their belief or sexual orientation.

"As a Christian bookshop we would have been delighted to have flown the Derbyshire flag, the flag of St George or the union flag.

"Unfortunately, due to lack of initial consultation on the matter, we had to decline to fly the flag allocated to our shop, as a matter of conscience and in keeping with our faith and scriptures."

So you they would've been fine with any other flag, just not a Pride flag. Yea, sounds pretty inclusive to me (/s, obviously). Fucking bigots. I wish I could be there with some crayons and stuff.

Judged by the other voices in the article, seems to be a nice town though.

I am pretty sure Christian faith and scriptures don't object to rainbow flags, so they must object to what it stands for, the people they do not condemn. Allegedly.

Yeah because they're so consistent in applying what's in the scriptures, right?
