Controversy and Inclusion: King Charles' Coronation and Its Significance for Britain's Future.

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.
