My disabled child was handed this Pride Activity Booklet 2026 while we were waiting for his appointment at Alder Hey today.
It’s full of wording such as “lesbian”, “gay”, “bisexual”, “trans”, “non binary” etc, colouring pages saying “Some kids have two mums” and “Some kids have two dads”, rainbows, “Equality Wins” pictures, and stickers from Alder Hey Children’s Charity covered in pride flags.
When we came back down after the appointment they have a full set-up in the middle of the hospital with speeches going on about LGBTQ+.
I bring my child here so he can see his doctors and get the medical care he needs, not so that adults can push gender and LGBTQ+ ideology on an impressionable disabled child in a hospital waiting room.
This is a children’s hospital. Something has gone badly wrong when this is treated as normal.
I do have a video of me making a complaint. The gentleman said “I’m so sorry, it’s nothing to do with us.” I genuinely felt sorry for him, so I will not post it.
So whose decision is it? The Trust, the charity, or higher up in the NHS and government?
