Anti-Gay Church "Not Welcome" in Lockleaze

29/07/2021

Local campaigning and radical newspaper The Bristolian has a long history of standing up to bigotry, as well as being a thorn in the side of the City Authorities. It memorably described Conservative Councillor Richard Eddy as a “homophobic weirdo” and over its twenty year history, has stood up firmly for secular values. The paper reports that in Lockleaze, a fundamentalist anti-gay church called the Spirit of Life has opened on Romney Avenue. LGBTQIA bloggers have thanked the Bristolian for its investigation into this congregation which is somewhat fixated with what it describes as the evils of homosexuality and transgenderism. The Bristolian reports “On the positive side, efforts by this church to ingratiate themselves in the local community on the local  ‘Love Lockleaze’ Facebook page have been firmly rebuffed by members of the community who have told them, in no uncertain terms, they are not welcome”.
