Look at the attacks on trans people and tell me we don't need London Pride now

I'M not being funny but... it's Pride this Saturday. I know, I know, I touched on the corporate side of things a few weeks ago, but as a queer man living in the times we're living in, I just have a few more things to say.

A lot of us take Pride for granted these days. You hear in the press or comments section of your favourite social media platforms "why isn't there straight Pride?" or "why do you still need Pride?" and those comments are ignorant. Are we in a better place than we were 50 years ago? Of course! But as we've seen with this Prime Minister (that's right I'm f***ing getting political this week), the concept of turning people against each other for political gain is as strong as ever.

Previously gays used to be the target, people of colour too. Well now it's my trans and non-binary siblings. The Government is recklessly making them out to be some sort of aggressor whereas in actual fact all they want - all any of us want is to be left to live our lives without prejudice. It's not a hard concept to understand!
