I have always understood wreaths bearing unit badges or other symbols to show who is doing the remembering, not who is being remembered. And I join others in taking a dim view of them being used to send any other message, whether that’s ‘save the planet’, ‘join the Scouts’ or ‘be LGBT+ aware’. It is not the platform for any message besides remembrance of all the fallen.
It's not patronising to point out when an argument is utter hoop.
LGBT acceptance is not political, it's a moral imperative. There is absolutely nothing political about it. I disagree with your view.
