Anglicans against the bullying of nut allergy sufferers

Some Anglicans have a mania for denouncing the bullying of homosexuals while excluding from their righteous indignation equally deserving cases: for example, the bullying of those with nut allergies.

I myself am allergic to some nuts but I had no idea that others similarly afflicted are being bullied because of it. When will Anglicans become genuinely inclusive and rise up against this injustice, I ask myself?

From here:

Children with potentially deadly nut allergies are being bullied for being different, say researchers.

And their parents are stigmatised as ‘neurotic and attention-seeking’ by other parents, they found.

Relatives of some victims of the condition are even suspected of deliberately giving a child nuts to check they really are allergic.
Overall, the impact of a nut allergy is so great that it could be considered a disability, the Leicester University researchers found.

They interviewed 26 families from the Leicester area about their experiences.

Some children told how they were bullied by classmates, who taunted them about their allergy and threatened to trigger it.
