Latest News:
- Rainbows are to be seen all over as a tribute to staff in the NHS and other carers. It's lovely to see them - and as a signal to LGBT+ people everywhere.
- The epic series the Gay Century continues every Tuesday evening. Two episodes are broadcast with live readings each week on Tuesday evenings at 8pm and 9pm. Viewing is free but limited to 100 people so you need the Zoom link from the organiser. Get it here. Or telephone 07444 311695.
- It's thirty years since OutRage! was launched. This two minute video gives a sense of the direct action by valiant in-your-face campaigners who accepted arrest in 1990s Britain in order to get equality for LGBT+ people.
- A campaign has been newly launched to persuade Prides up and down the country to stop using Barclays bank. The campaign says that Barclays are 'pinkwashing' and using attendance at prides as a marketing tool to distract from the banks' policies such as lending to carbon intensive industries behind climate change. The DIvest Pride! campaign support page is here.
