Anglican bishopess Susan Bell wore a mitre specially decorated with rainbow symbolism and publicly repented for the "discrimination" of sexual minorities. She condemned the actions of her denomination, which led to "years of isolation" of "LGBTQ+" representatives.

Bell called conversion therapy "evil" and called for acknowledging the church's guilt in spreading "transphobia and biphobia." In her opinion, Anglicans must bear responsibility for the "policy of exclusion" and oppression.
