Proud2Be have been nominated for the LGBT Community Organisation Award at The 2014 National Diversity Awards.
The ceremony celebrates some of the excellent and inspiring achievements of positive role models and community organisations from across the UK. The awards aim to recognise nominees in their respective fields of diversity including age, disability, gender, race, faith, religion and sexual orientation.
Proud2Be Project is an organisation set up by gay identical twin brothers Mat and Jon Price, to empower all lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning & intersex (LGBTQI) people to be proud of who they are. The project was launched two and a half years ago when the brothers recorded a short video. In the video they explained how they are both proud to be gay.
Since its launch, Proud2Be has grown hugely and now holds a monthly social group, social weekends and a yearly Pride event in South Devon, UK.
The twins host their own radio show which can be heard on www.soundartradio.org.uk/ and are planning on opening the first rural LGBTQI community hub in Devon, next year.
The brothers said: “We are very honoured to be nominated for a national diversity award, particularly as it recognises Proud2Be as a community organisation. We have spent the last few years engaging with our wonderfully diverse and vibrant community and even though as a group we still face oppression and discrimination, it has been a pleasure to see so many people come together and support one another in the face of such adversity.”
