RVT Sports Day - in partnership with LGBT HERO

LGBTQ+ people make up a small percentage of the population. Our ability to freely love someone, get married, have a family, to lead a happy and healthy life relies on allies standing up and helping to protect our hard fought rights. We can't do this on our own. This is why being an ally isn't just for . It's needed all year round.

So yes, help us celebrate Pride Month, but you must stand by our side when times get tough.

I'm Coming Out?

Well it’s Pride season and while Miss Rona (Coronavirus) has forced many Prides throughout the world to be cancelled but it’s still a time of the year that we must celebrate all things LGBTQ+. However, although lots of us will be still celebrating online, in parks and with a cheeky stay over it’s important to understand that even in 2020 we have a long way to go for equality.

It’s true to say that not everyone is ‘out’ and lots of gay and bisexual men still live a life in the closet. And while it’s nobodies business whether they come out or not, many face social barriers and face discrimination and prejudice if they do. We have seen LGBTQ+ hate crime increase by 30% over the last couple of years. And mental illness including depression and anxiety is linked to coming out. We are also seeing big numbers of gay and bi men who take their own lives because of their sexuality. This is not acceptable.

So for Pride season we want you to hear from the men who have struggled to come out and the ongoing battle we face for true equality.
