Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The gay rights group Outrage yesterday disrupted a cathedral service in a protest at what it said was Anglican support for anti-gay discrimination, writes Mark Rowe.
The campaigners, who had been sitting among the congregation at Southwark Cathedral in London, displayed placards declaring: "Stop Sacking Gay Clergy".
Dressed in suits and ties, the campaigners had knelt in silence at the altar for five minutes until one rose and told the congregation, including 60 Anglican primates from around the world, that the Church should embrace homosexual equality.
The provost, the Very Rev Colin Slee, said: "My sadness is that the case of homosexual people will not be furthered by causing stress to people who are sympathetic."
