As we progress through Black History Month, we hope you've been actively engaging with this year's powerful theme: "Reclaiming Narratives." This observance offers a crucial opportunity to amplify authentic Black voices, challenge misrepresentations, and celebrate the diverse, complex stories that have long been overlooked or mischaracterised. By participating, we all contribute to a more accurate and inclusive understanding of history, empowering Black individuals to tell their own stories and shape their own narratives. Chris, CEO of Pride in London #BlackHistoryMonth #ReclaimingNarratives

On this International Coming Out Day, we honour the individual journeys of all members of our community.🌈❤️ For some, it’s an inner knowing, while for others, a continuous process. For many, it’s mustering courage in the face of potential rejection. While for still too many, a daunting reality dictated by governments criminalising LGBTQIA+ people. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Stonewall UK, a charity that has fought relentlessly for the past 30 years to transform the lives of LGBTQIA+ people in the UK, driving positive change in public attitudes and policy. While we’ve achieved so much, the road to equality is still long. In response to the recent rise in hate crimes against our community, Stonewall has launched the ‘Hold My Hand’ campaign, calling on the government to prioritise our safety and demanding justice.⚖️💥 Please join the campaign by emailing your MP, sharing your story, donating, or spreading the word.

LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking to start or grow a family face complex challenges due to both biological factors and inadequate reproductive healthcare support. Back for its 4th year next Saturday, 28 September, The Modern Family Show is designed to help individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community explore their family-building options in a safe and inclusive environment. 🌈💕 We asked the team of experts behind the show to share some key insights on the reality of LGBTQIA+ family building. Here’s what stood out: ➤ Gay and bi+ men, and LGBTQIA+ individuals who produce sperm, do not have access to NHS fertility treatments. In contrast, cisgender men in heterosexual couples do, revealing a significant disparity in reproductive healthcare. ➤ Only 3 out of 42 Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) across England offer fair fertility funding, with some offering more than others. This postcode lottery in fertility funding only exacerbates the inequality in healthcare support faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals. ➤ 20% (600) of all adoptions in the year ending March 2023 were by same-sex couples, showing the increasing diversity in family structures. ➤ Same-gender parental order applications rose from 30% in 2014/15 to 40% in 2022/23, reflecting a positive shift in societal narratives. ➤ The UK is facing a shortage of 6,500 foster families as of May 2024, highlighting the urgent need for more support. While some of these findings highlight progress, they underscore the ongoing need to advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights and make our voices heard until we achieve true equality for all. ⚖️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ The Modern Family Show will run a full day of inspiring talks and educational workshops led by experts on surrogacy, IVF, adoption, fostering, egg or sperm donation, and more.
