WOW the bus stop ads along the route of London pride now say 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No Pride in Cops 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Pride in London's theme this yr is #AllOurPride so why are the Met Police, who are under special measures from their own watchdog for being racist, sexist and homophobic, invited to march 🙄

The Home Office knows an #LGBTQI+ person on a Hi Fly to #Nigeria tonight is in severe danger. #stoptheflights it’s #notsafetobeme

The flight is leaving Birmingham at 10.30pm, please continue sharing to #StopTheFlights. #Notsafetobeme

Yesterday, a few days before the UKs largest Pride march, an LGBTQIA+ refugee was deported by @UKHomeOffice back to a country where they face persecution or worse. 1/8

This is despite Rainbow Migration and countless other LGBTQIA+ and Refugee/Asylum groups telling the Home Office he’s believed to be gay in Nigeria and that his employer in Lagos sacked him for being gay. 2/8

From the article below: “The Nigerian police started publishing my pictures and my name in the Nigerian national dailies,” he added." bit.ly/3AeYvGZ 3/8

The Home Office pretend to care about LGBTQIA+ people by covering their social media in rainbows. At the same time they continue to tear people from their families and communities through inhumane deportations. 4/8

Pride in London can you honestly say that this is #allourpride if the Home Office and Met Police are allowed to have a presence at Pride in London? 5/8

Pride in London we demand transparency! Will the Home Office and the Metropolitan Police be in the parade this year? Will you take a stand against the Home Office’s pink washing of the violent Hostile Environment and Nationality and Borders Bill? 6/8

Making an #allourpride hashtag without making the actual changes doesn’t deal with the violent structural racism and homophobia that exists in these institutions. @PrideinLondon we demand a response from you. 7/8
