The UK's largest Pride organisers have decided to suspend political party participation in their events, voicing clear support for the transgender community amidst growing legal and societal challenges. Following a Supreme Court ruling that interprets terms in the Equality Act to exclude transgender women, leaders from Birmingham, Brighton, London, and Manchester pride events have united to call for accountability from political entities, insisting on protections for trans individuals and advocating for crucial healthcare access and support programs. They also emphasized the need for political parties to elevate trans voices in public and policy-making arenas.
We are united not only in message, but in purpose. At a time when trans rights in the UK are under growing attack, our resolve has never been stronger.
We need every political party to stand unequivocally with every member of the LGBTQ+ community, and to centre the voices of trans people in policy, practice and public life.
