The Queen and I are the same age. From afar, I’ve been mostly proud of her for a lot of years dating from WW2.

No more. Queen and I part ways at this point.

Please note that nothing in the statement mentions homosexuality. This is another example of the press twisting things to look the way they want it.

And as was noted in a previous post, the queen has little or no input in policy. She does and signs what she is expected to.

This speech has nothing to do with the Queen's own beliefs. It's a speech she is required to make by her Government as a Constitutional Monarch. It would be unconstitutional for her not to do so.

On political matters, the Queen is the servant of Parliament, unless exercising the reserve powers which would only be done to address a constitutional crisis.

The article is also, in my view, misrepresenting the speech which does not, in fact, refer to sexuality even once. It refers to racial discrimination, sex discrimination, skin colour, religion, and political beliefs explicitly. It does mention sexuality at all.
