Many LGBT+ veterans & service personnel inc in #StAlbans faced unjust treatment due to their sexuality. Now, theyโre experiencing delays to govt compensation & in accessing their records. Great to back Fighting With Pride in their calls for govt to address this ๐ณ๏ธโ๐


An emotional day with #Veterans from the gay ban & serving members of the #LGBTQ networks visiting #AbraxasAcademy at Holkham Forge to see the #NationalLGBTArmedForcesCommunityMemorial Even unfinished it is so striking. Will look incredible installed at the National Memorial Arboretum



As #Pride Month ends, itโs vital to recognise the work still needed for all veterans to feel valued and supported.

Ground has been broken at the National Memorial Arboretum to mark the position of the new LGBT+ memorial. Organised by Fighting With Pride the memorial, representing a crumpled letter, uses words taken from evidence collected from former LGBT personnel. It will be unveiled later this year.




A privilege to join Fighting With Pride, aboard HMS Victory, for an evening celebrating LGBT+ veterans service in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines & Women's Royal Naval Service - delighted Portsmouth City Council is a supporting organisation for this significant event.
