| | + | Under Duncan, in 2017, the UK FCO issued the Wilton Report urging the British government to use every method of coercion to impose the LGBT agenda on foreign countries contrary to the will of the people and their own parliamentary democracies. The report denounces Christian morality as "hateful", blames it for imposing "heteropatriarchy" (i.e. natural behavior) and calls for "direct action" to implement their agenda when changes of legislation are not forthcoming. This extremism, which is completely against all the traditional policies of the Conservative Party and the democratic principles of the Commonwealth, has met with strong protests and a petition was set up on the internet demanding that the government reject it. <ref>http://www.christianconcern.com/our-concerns/freedom-of-speech/foreign-office-agency-says-biblical-morality-is-hateful</ref> |
