Service personnel proudly marched in their
uniforms at London's biggest gay pride event.
Personnel from all 3 services celebrated their diversity
on Saturday 28 June by marching in the UK’s biggest gay pride event in
London.
More than 130 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
(LGBT) serving personnel and heterosexual ‘LGBT Allies’
marched together in uniform at Pride in London to celebrate the freedom
for LGBT people to live their lives without
discrimination.
This is the seventh time armed forces personnel have
marched at Pride, and comes as the services approach the 15th year anniversary
of the end of the ban on gay personnel.
Since the ban was lifted, all 3 services
and MOD have worked hard to create inclusive workplaces and all have
featured in the Stonewall top 100 index ofLGBT-friendly
employers.
