The theme for this year’s Pride in London has been revealed.
This year’s theme #YouMeUsWe calls out the “crucial need for allyship in order to heal rifts between the groups,” writes ‘Attitude’. Discrimination is a problem almost a third (32%) of LGBT+ people have experienced in some form from others in their local LGBT+ community. Three in five LGBT+ black people (61%) have experienced discrimination from other LGBT+ people because of their ethnicity. This year’s Pride in London wants to bring us all together in a common celebration.
“Pride in London's 2020 theme #YouMeUsWe is a rallying cry to the LGBT+ community,” says Tom Stevens, Director of Marketing for Pride in London.
“No matter your identity, it calls on each of us to reach out, understand and support one another, demanding us to be better allies within our own community.
“Historically, the Pride movement was built on a core foundation of us standing up for one another.
"As LGBT+ people, especially those from marginalised communities, continue to come under attack from many sides, this allyship is as important now as it has ever been.
"It's down to all of us to celebrate identity, and make sure Pride in London is a pride for everyone. It's down to You, Me, Us, We.”
