Philip Baldwin speaks with BAFTA Award-winning presenter, author and columnist Dr Ranj about the importance of Pride and speaking up for minorities within the LGBTQIA+ community.
Every year Pride falls in June, but across the summer there are over 150 Pride events taking place in the UK. It was great chatting to Dr Ranj Singh, doctor, BAFTA Award-winning TV presenter and author to find out about his plans for 2024 and which issues he considers particularly important this year.
I began by asking Ranj why it’s important to mark Pride? Pride is important all year round to me, but it’s good to have an anchor to organise our celebrations, campaigns and activism.
Pride is getting more and more important because, in many places around the world and even in the UK, there is a move to reverse our rights.
