Whoever chose it to represent this movement absolutely nailed it.
Because Pride isnโt just a celebration - itโs a declaration.
A reclaiming.
A resistance.
A reminder.
It says: We are not ashamed.

๐๐ฉ Today, we tip our hats to the legendary Sir George Williams, the mastermind behind the #YMCA! Born on this day in 1821, George didnโt just think outside the box - he built a whole community around it!

This past Saturday, the epic showdown of the century took place at The Dome (aka @LCFC old training ground), where #YMCA Leicestershire staff faced off against the unstoppable force of residents. Spoiler alert: it was a bit of a disaster for the staff! @YMCAEng_Wales #football
