A trans chaplain and the NHS faced a backlash from parents of terminally and gravely ill children after a prayer room was covered with LGBT flags for Pride month.
Maxwell Reay, a transgender man, activist and minister at a United Reformed Church in Edinburgh is also in charge of 'spiritual care' at the city's famous Sick Kids hospital.
A spokesman for NHS Lothian said: 'The flags were used as temporary decoration in the sanctuary to mark the Pride day of celebration.'
But one practising Christian family - who is related to a terminally ill toddler that uses the facility - said she was left 'shaking with anger' after the prayer room was transformed.
They claim the room is being used for 'activism' for a cause that is in conflict with their religious beliefs.
We are a small family and we are all very traumatised by the situation we're facing,' she told the Telegraph.
'My family and I are leaning on our faith as we face the worst fear and trauma of our lives, but as it stands we can't use what is meant to be the hospital's prayer room.'
The room - which is called the 'sanctuary' but was labelled a 'chill out zone' by a rainbow sign - is intended to be a 'space for quiet reflection, prayer or meditation', according to the hospital's website.
The hospital claimed the 'chill out zone' sign had been left up due to an error and is now removed.

I see the problem.
Does anyone know what the brown strip on that flag stands for? I think I probably don’t want to know.
According to wiki:
The design adds the colors of the Trans Pride Flag with brown and black diagonal stripes, emphasizing the importance of trans people of color for the queer rights movement from its inception at the Stonewall riots. The flag was first released online in the summer of 2018.
Q: What do you call a “transgender” chaplain?
A: Satanic Priest.
Absolute Demonic Evil.
The technical term in heraldry is “skidmark”.
“In heraldry”.. lol.
Whenever I see that queer flag I think of all those helpless children that were raped by homosexual priest. That flag is the symbol of perversion.
