The Queen will support a pledge that highly promotes LGBT rights and gender equality!
Here's more:
In a live television broadcast, she will sign a new charter designed to stamp out discrimination against homosexual people and promote the ‘empowerment’ of women – a key part of a new drive to boost human rights and living standards across the Commonwealth.Her speech is suppose to be inclusive of the LGBT community. This will be huge!
In her first public appearance since she had hospital treatment for a stomach bug, the Queen will sign the new Commonwealth Charter and make a speech explaining her passionate commitment to it.
Insiders say her decision to highlight the event is a ‘watershed’ moment – the first time she has clearly signalled her support for gay rights in her 61-year reign.

I'm impressed. I thought perhaps the Queen too old guard to support gay rights. I wonder who or what influenced her decision?
