Huge thanks to VIBE 107.6 FM for hosting us as part of Pride on Vibe during Pride Month.

Tina Fuller spoke to Louise Bates and Ian Port about the way dementia impacts the LGBTQIA+ community, and how difficult it can be to have an extra layer to navigate when everything is already confusing and worrying.

If you're worried, or just curious to know how to prepare for yourself and your loved ones, come along to our event with the Alzheimer's Society, Dementia Friendly Watford next week - details on our website and socials.

This Pride Month, Proud Watford and the Alzheimer’s Society are joining forces to shine a light on an often-overlooked topic: the experience of dementia within the LGBTQ+ community.

We're delighted to announce that in our continuing Pride Month series "Pride on Vibe" our co founder Lee Keogh will be talking to Alexinder Riyat on Intersectionality on Monday evening from 7-9pm.

Intersectionality helps us to understand how overlapping identities - like race, gender, sexuality and disability shape peoples' experiences - so we can build a more inclusive and supportive society for everyone.

Tonight's the night!

Launched in 2021 Pub Pride, in association with Ask For Clive is your chance to see the venues who are raising a glass for inclusion.

Supporting venues celebrate the arrival of Pride month with and for their local community. There are events right across the UK including drag shows, live music, cinema, theme nights, and even a cross country walk from pub to pub.

We have worked with Pride Organisations, Pub Companies, BID teams, and local councils to bring the event to life.

In 2025, we celebrate the fifth annual Pub Pride, taking place nationally on the weekend of Friday, May 30th.

For 2025, our theme colour is Hot Pink!

PUB PRIDE 25 - Today’s the day! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 🍻

Thanks to all of the venues across the UK who have signed up to and help raise funds for Ask For Clive,

We have over 200 venues supporting, many holding events tonight and over the weekend. Find a supporting venue near yourself here: https://buff.ly/jULIw7w

Punch Pubs, McMullens and All Bar One are also supporting our efforts with custom cocktails for Pride month, each with a contribution toward the Ask For Clive campaign.

By supporting Pub Pride, venues are helping to raise valuable funds toward our work in ensuring welcome spaces in the nighttime economy for the LGBTQ+ community. We’re ever grateful for their support and thank them for their commitment to welcoming in Pride month within their local community,

We’d also like to thank our partners at the NTIA for helping make Pub Pride 25 a success.

Pick a Side, Hate or Pride

From the brilliant GoodLawProject.org and https://www.facebook.com/stopfundinghate

June is Pride month. So our social feeds will be awash with corporate rainbow logos performatively signalling their support for the LGBTQ+ community.

But some of the same companies celebrating Pride are also advertising on GB News’ website and YouTube channel – a media platform that pumps out virulent hatred of LGBTQ+ people.

We’re talking big names: Adobe, Burberry, KLM, Listerine, Nissan, SoundCloud, Squarespace, Trainline, Vistaprint.

Maybe these firms have no idea their ads are appearing next to transphobic and homophobic hate. But when you know, you know.

You can’t say you support LGBTQ+ rights while funding a platform that attacks them.

We’re teaming up with Stop Funding Hate to tell these companies to drop GB News. This Pride, let’s make support really mean something.

Take two minutes to write to these companies - tell them to pick a side, hate or Pride.

Update: Within 24 hours of launching the campaign, Radisson has stopped all of their advertisement on GB News - keep going!
