RECLAIM PRIDE

Last month our art director Tom Selmon captured Reclaim Pride, which was a community-led Pride march in the capital with the aim of getting back to the roots of Pride, with five key LGBTQ+ liberation demands: ban LGBTQ+ conversion therapy; reform the Gender Recognition Act; safe haven for LGBTQ+ refugees; decriminalisation of LGBTQ+ people worldwide; and solidarity with Black Lives Matter.

Peter Tatchell, march coordinator, said: “Pride in London has become depoliticised and commercialised. Reclaim Pride has no corporate sponsors. It puts LGBTQ+ human rights centre stage. Thank you to everyone who joined the historic first #ReclaimPride march – reclaiming Pride for the community and for our human rights. We proved that you don’t need wristbands and corporate exploitation. Pride is a celebration AND a protest.”
