David Harvie explains why Pride Matters to him.
“I joined a group in Brighton about four and a half years ago and nervously went along to meet them at the start of the pride parade to wish them well. Some friends from the group insisted I march along with them and I reluctantly agreed. It turned out to be one of those days in life that made me look at things from such a different persective.
“I couldn’t believe the feeling and acceptance, I got from the crowds as we marched the route towards the park. The noise, the admiration, the atmosphere was amazing and I was so glad that I taken up the opportunity to march.
“Going though that experience made me feel so welcomed by my fellow LGBT brothers and sisters as well as everyone else. After the experience of pride that year it inspired me to get involved in making sure that the message of Pride and the LGBT community always goes forward and never backwards, and everything that we have fought so hard for, carries on to make life better and easier for generations to come.
“Pride inspired me, let it inspire you this year. “
