The Trinity Cross of the Order of Trinity, a medal established by the Queen of England, has been replaced by Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The old medal which was a cross was deemed it was unlawful because it 'discriminated' agains non-Christians. The new medal has no references to Christianity. Telegraph
A medal established by the Queen is being withdrawn after it was declared unlawful and offensive to Muslims and Hindus.
The cross-shaped honour - The Trinity Cross of the Order of Trinity - has been handed to distinguished members of the former colony of Trinidad and Tobago.[...]
The Christian name and cross are now being replaced with the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago - a circular medal featuring a sun, stars, water and a map of the islands.
The Privy Council, made up of 12 law lords, ruled the merit decoration was unlawful because it discriminates against non-Christians.
Now other honours are being reviewed over their references to Christian Saints or symbols.
