Thank you, Reading Liberal Democrats! 🧡🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Reading Pride today, and to the scores and scores who signed our petition to end the ban on puberty blockers.

Reading Pride is always a highlight of our year, but we're proud to stand up for everyone in Reading all year round. 🧡🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🏳️‍🌈 Marking Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

Last year research showed less than half of LGBTQ+ people felt safe holding their partner’s hand in public.

With statistics like this still demonstrating that far too many LGBTQ+ people in the UK are worried about their rights, safety and acceptance, Pride Month is as necessary as ever.

So whilst Pride is a joyful time to celebrate our local community’s brilliant diversity, it’s also an important opportunity to speak out, stand together, and demand better for our LGBTQ+ friends, family and neighbours. Everyone deserves to feel safe to be who they are.

Happy Pride! 🌈

Pride is a celebration, but fundamentally it is a protest - and this sort of thing is exactly why. Chelmsford Lib Dems and everyone living where Reform is trying this on has our full support. We're working on more, but in the meantime, make your voices heard - and join us in Chelmsford on the 20th of June to help make Essex Pride as loud and fierce as possible. 👇

One of Reform's first acts on taking control of Essex County Council was to ban libraries from promoting Pride and similar events. We think this is wrong. Liberal Democrat councillors will present this petition at the next council meeting on 14th July.

The EHRC code of practice is not fit for purpose. It must be withdrawn, and updated legislation urgently worked on.

Today Cllr Victor Chamberlain wrote to Bridget Phillipson to urge her to withdraw the guidance. We must stand in solidarity with the trans community.
