Pride Month: Why Pride is still important
June is LGBT+ Pride Month. It is a time to look back on the history of the LGBT+ rights movement, its achievements and the huge progress that we have made.
It is also a time to reflect on the injustice and inequality that still exists in society, both here in the UK and around the world and to redouble our efforts to eradicate those inequalities.

Pride Month: Let’s work to make equality for all a reality
This is a pivotal moment in the fight for equality. George Floyd’s murder has sparked Black Lives Matter protests demanding meaningful change to end structural racism and inequality in the US, Europe and further afield. It is also Pride Month – a time to celebrate the achievements of the LGBTQ+ rights movement to date and reflect on the work that remains to be done.
People are angry. We should be.
We have all been touched by the grief and anger of the recent protests in the US and at home.
The Liberal Democrats exist to fight for justice, liberty and equality and we support the Black Lives Matter movement.

Black Lives Matter
We can all play our part to end racial injustice
Events in America over the past week have been truly shocking to observe. Amy Cooper used her white privilege to try and get Christian Cooper, a black New Yorker, arrested when he had not done anything wrong. George Floyd, a black man from Minneapolis, was murdered by a white police officer - denied both of his life and the opportunity to be judged equally before the law.
Clear evidence of police brutality against black Americans and other activists seeking to defend their rights emerged across several US states. President Donald Trump proved there is no denying he is a racist, by refusing to condemn these actions and deploying troops against those demanding justice for George Floyd.
