In England, but not Scotland, Wales or Ireland, there is an established church – the Church of England. Some of the senior bishops have places in the House of Lords, which allows them a voice in government. Therefore what the Church of England does and what it believes affects everyone because those bishops are part of the government.
This gives everyone in the country the right to campaign about the Church of England. Church of England bishops have voted against same-sex marriage, they voted against civil partnerships etc. What they believe and the way they vote in government is something that everyone can have an opinion on and can campaign for them to be more LGBTQ affirming.
Wherever you live in England, you live in a diocese, which is an area controlled by one of the Church of England bishops. If you want to campaign for better laws in England then one easy first step is to write to the bishop for your area. You can do this whatever faith you hold, or even if you have no faith.
