It's far too early for me to be up, let alone thinking clearly......but..
This is way too far, AOG......the NT was gifted his home to be cared for so the public could enjoy it......they were not gifted his past private life to use in this way.......
I'd thought the aim of the NT was to preserve and protect Britain's agricultural heritage......but now, after reading AOG's link I have discovered Prejudice and Pride....I need to look at that a bit more but I wouldn't blame the volunteers if they took their time and enthusiasm elsewhere.........x

That's the NT being PC and wanting the pink £. And of course it feeds into the 'outing' of anyone and everyone either living or dead. Privacy has no place in the gay world.
I would not volunteer during the time the badge is worn if it was that much of an issue for me.
Perhaps all the volunteers that don't want to wear one should turn up for work and not meet the public or, have a nice tea party or picnic in the grounds and not 'go to work' that day at all.
How many volunteers does it take to open a country house? Would they have enough paid staff and volunteers if half went on sickies or holiday??

DannyK,
Why would anyone object to wearing a lovely colourful rainbow badge?

If this is part of the uniform during this promotional week, then they should wear it. If they don't like the uniform, then they shouldn't volunteer.

If they HAD to carry a big flag and wear tee-shirts then I could understand volunteers being upset, but a Small rainbow badge to represent the organisation's inclusivity, seems pretty harmless.

The Mail report didn't in fact feature a volunteer who objected to wearing the badge, probably because there are no volunteers who do object to it. Simply a case of roghtwingers getting their knickers in a twist about something that everyone concerned isn't much bothered about.

///It is understood that at least 10 Felbrigg Hall volunteers have refused to wear the lanyards or badges in protest at the Trust’s decision to publicise his sexuality.///
National Trust volunteers banished to back room chores if they refuse to wear gay pride rainbow flag
