London marked the 50th anniversary of the UK’s first Pride protest in 1972, uniting to celebrate those veterans who paved the way for the LGBTQ+ community, and marching forward for its continued progress.
A return to large-scale celebrations following the pandemic, the focus this year was on visibility, unity, and equality for all LGBTQ+ people.
“We strive to be a safe haven and beacon of hope for queer, trans and BIPOC individuals around the world,” said spokesperson Haven Thorn, one of 150 volunteers who worked to make this year’s Pride – which was predicted to draw record numbers – happen. “Pride is about inclusivity and awareness that Pride in London is more than an annual celebration, it uplifts our community 365 days a year, inspiring and empowering every LGBTQ+ person to proudly love and live their truth.
