Controversy and Inclusion: King Charles' Coronation and Its Significance for Britain's Future.
TL;DR
As King Charles prepares for his coronation, experts are calling for the British monarchy to face up to its ties to colonialism and anti-LGBTQ+ laws around the world. The British Empire is responsible for many of the laws criminalising same-sex sexual activity globally, and many believe the monarchy is intrinsically tied to that harm. As a result, some are calling for the abolition of the monarchy entirely. However, King Charles has failed to acknowledge LGBTQ+ rights across the Commonwealth, and there has been no sign that the monarchy plans to face up to this history.
