As we look forward to PRIDE on Saturday 29 June, we spoke with Prospective MP Tim Barnes and Westminster Councillor Ed Pitt Ford outside the Palace of Westminster.

Tim explained,

"It's June, and that means it's Pride Month, a chance to celebrate all of the wonderful achievements of our LGBTQ-plus community and to move towards acceptance for all."

Ed continued, 

"And while progress has been made, sadly, discrimination still exists. 

"We have a lot more work to do to create an equitable society for everybody, no matter who they are or who they love."

Tim concluded,

"So while it's June, while this is the time to do it, let's move towards acceptance and keep that LGBTQ-plus flag flying."

You can find out more about Pride in London and how to get involved, by visiting Pride in London.
