#AllourPride GTL Content Hub

In the UK June is Pride month and the theme is “All our Pride”

This year is a significant year for the Pride movement and the LGBT+ community as we commemorate 50 Years since the first Pride took place in the United Kingdom.

The campaign for 2022 will commemorate the past 50 years and the evolution as a movement; acknowledging those who have championed and fought for LGBTQ+ rights and their achievements.

In honour of this milestone and Pride month, GTL have produced a content to educate and inform our community on issues relating to the LGBTQ+ community from music, books to influential movers and shakers within this space.

Please see below:
