About Teignmouth Pride
Pride looks different around the world, but it shares a purpose – to fight for continued recognition of the basic human rights for all LGBTIQIA+ people everywhere.
Pride is about communities coming together in celebration, protest, unity and solidarity.
Because in every community in the UK, and around the world, LGBTQIA+ people are still being abused, thrown out of their homes, and bullied in schools and workplaces. The institutions that should protect us – our governments, communities, faith institutions and families – too often stand silent, or actively harm us.
And for some LGBTQIA+ people, these harms are particularly acute. From racism to ableism, misogyny to classism, LGBTQIA+ people of colour, LGBTQIA+ women.
LGBTQIA+ people who are disabled, those of us living in poverty, who are of faith, and many more of us, are held back and pushed aside as we make our way through life.
We believe in our community coming together as one and supporting each other.
