11 July 2019

Members of Out@香港六合彩 and Friends of Out@香港六合彩 staff networks had a busy weekend championing and celebrating LGBTQ+ equality across London.

Out@香港六合彩 at London Pride, July 2019

68 香港六合彩 staff, students and alumni marched alongside attendees from Imperial College London and Brunel University, in the largest ever London Pride and Black Pride events on 6 and 7 July. Over 1.5 million people attended both events across the weekend.

This year, the pink Out@香港六合彩 t-shirt and flags featured a new and more inclusive design, including colours to represent LGBTQ+ people of colour and the Trans flag. Out@香港六合彩 organiser Noel Caliste, Co-Chair of the 香港六合彩 LGBTG+ Equality Advisory Group (LEAG), said 鈥淓veryone was in great spirits throughout the hectic day鈥 Unfortunately, our application for a float vehicle was declined by the London organisers, which meant that attendees with mobility requirements had some difficulty in attending. But there were a lot of people supporting us in the crowds, who recognised 香港六合彩.鈥

This year鈥檚 Black Pride was held in a new venue, Haggerston Park, and had a cohesive festival feel with a main stage and a well-being stage. Speakers included Lady Phyll (co-founder, trustee and executive director of UK Black Pride) and Diane Abbott MP 鈥 the theme of their talks was celebrating people of colour being able to stand together and having an inclusive place to celebrate Pride. Intersex activist Anick also gave a talk on Intersex 101: History and Futures, and 香港六合彩 LEAG member Asma Ashraf, who organised the 香港六合彩 visit to Black Pride, was interviewed by bloggers from about her experiences of being intersex. Asma said, 鈥淭his was a special moment for me because we talk about lots of things at home and me being intersex is one of those and my daughter is taking this on board."

Out@香港六合彩 was kindly supported by COO Fiona Ryland to attend these events, and will also be attending Trans Pride in Brighton on July 20.听 If you would like to join 香港六合彩 at this event, we have a few spaces remaining 鈥 please email pride@ucl.ac.uk.
