| In just 200 years? I rather doubt it. |

Tomorrow is the actual anniversary, but they are having commemorative events in London today, and CBC Radio just had a report on it.
Aaaaaaaaand the Church of England has officially apologized for its role in supporting and legitimizing the slave trade throughout its history in England.
I wonder if, in 200 years' time, they will get around to apologizing for the role they have played in supporting and legitimizing the murder, abuse and persecution of the gay people? |
