According to Archbishop Elpidophoros, worshiping in a church with an LGBT flag is "a symbolic act".
On 12 June 2023, the head of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in the US, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, stated that those who condemn Orthodox worship in a church with LGBT flags have no kindness.
During the Great Vespers St Bartholomew’s Church, which has an LGBTQ+ flag hanging over its entrance, Archbishop Elpidophoros said that the head of the Phanar "has deep concern and care for all of creation".
Explaining the reason why representatives of the Greek Archdiocese of America gathered in the Episcopal Church temple to celebrate Patriarch Bartholomew's name day, Archbishop Emmanuel said: "We celebrate the Ecumenical Patriarch’s name day here in a church of another Christian community because His All-Holiness is the very definition of ecumenicity."
"His All-Holiness acts like a spiritual wheel in the world – holding the traditions fast in the hub of the Holy Mother Church. But he reaches out as well through spokes that extend in love and compassion to all people. No one is ever beneath or unworthy of the love of God," said Archbishop Elpidophoros.

Good post.
When they are about to be thrown into the lake of fire, they will ask “Why didn’t you warn us?”
This is no archbishop
Sounds to me as if he is a Phakar Bishop.
“those who condemn Orthodox worship in a church with LGBT flags have no kindness”
Remind me again where God told us to be kind to devils?
