InConversation with Queer Britain and TimeOut London
Join us for an engaging conversation on LGBTQ+ activism through the decades. From the first Pride march in London in 1972 to the ongoing efforts of today, the LGBTQ+ movement has been at the forefront of promoting equality, challenging injustice, and creating a more inclusive world for all.
During this inspiring talk, you'll hear from an incredible panel of activists who will share their personal stories, challenges, and triumphs in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
Come be part of the dialogue, reflect on the progress made, and explore the work that still lies ahead.
