As a community, LGBTQ+ people throughout the world still face discrimination everyday, this maybe by people in their community or maybe by the laws within their country.
In the UK the LGBTQ+ community are still fighting to have conversion therapy banned for all including the Tran Community which is currently being debated. It is important that our Trans siblings have equality.
Our Pride March provides an opportunity for people to have their voices heard about LGBTQ+ rights.
