Charley Hasted: Why Pride Month is so important to me

By Mary Reid | Thu 29th June 2023 - 10:23 am

Pride Month comes to an end tomorrow.

My LDV colleague, Charley Hasted, has been speaking about how their employer, the London Ambulance Service, works with and supports trans and other LGBT+ employees.

Charley is Chair of LGBT+ Liberal Democrats.

By the way, if you haven’t done so already, Google Pride Month for a fun animation.

* Mary Reid is a contributing editor on Lib Dem Voice. She was a councillor in Kingston upon Thames, where she is still very active with the local party, and is the Hon President of Kingston Lib Dems.

Great to hear about how Charley’s employer, the London Ambulance Service, supports and listens to trans and other LGBT+ employees. It is to be hoped that other employers will follow their example. Lovely to hear such a positive story. Charley is inspirational in doing so much for LGBT+ rights as well such a valuable and demanding job.

Fully agree with all of this. I've seen a few MPs' Pride Month posts reference Section 28 abolition and Same-Sex Marriage - we need to start talking about this...
