ALT You may notice that no political parties will be present at Bristol Pride this year. We have decided to not allow any political parties to have a stall, or walk with us as organisations in the march until more is done to stand up for our entire community, ensuring that LGBT rights are embedded into policy, and that none of our community is left behind. We recognise that parties have many members and managing all voices and opinions is difficult. However leadership and party line comes from the top and not enough is currently being done to support our community and to lead by example in tackling prejudice and hatred. We also recognise and value the good work being done in the city to support the LGBT community, including the passing of a cross party motion to recognise trans rights as human rights. But all great work done locally is undermined by the actions of party leaders and MPs who are unwilling or able to stand up for their LGBT constituents.
