@pinknews: During a debate in the House of Commons on Monday 23 June, Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant made a powerful speech about the importance of Pride Month. He said that even the most "well-meaning liberal souls" have questioned why Pride is still necessary, and whether the LGBTQ+ community still needs more rights. Bryant responded that "we have always needed Pride" and "we need it now". #ukpolitics #houseofcommons #pridemonth #lgbtqhistory #Pride #chrisbryant

I'd argue it's never been more important to hold onto Pride with both hands.

I can't understand why anyone is bothered. It really doesn't affect my life.

I once saw a comment that said if your kids are okay with bullying other kids and calling them gay as an insult, theyre old enough to learn what it actually means to be gay and get educated about it
