🏳️🌈 PRIDE MONTH 🏳️🌈 is celebrated annually in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots, and works to achieve equal justice and equal opportunity for the LGBTQ+ community.
During this Month many ask…
What are companies intentions behind making the rainbow statement? Is it pure social activism or an act of commercial marketing?
While we are inspired to see more organisations have increased recognition of the LGBTQ+ community through honoring its culture during the month, we should also observe if there is consistency within the effort!
LGBTQ+ people still experience discrimination and poor treatment when accessing businesses and services, including shops, cafés, banks and gyms. According to Stonewall, more than a third of trans people (34 per cent) have been discriminated against because of their gender identity when visiting a café, restaurant, bar or nightclub in the last year.
We are PROUD of our strong all year round relationship with our Sponsors and Partners who constantly support Milton Keynes Pride Festival and who are committed to creating a culture of equality for their staff and customers in fully supporting inclusion and diversity.
