To mark the start of London Pride Week, the Council flew the flag – which includes extra colours to represent queer people of colour and trans people – to recognise the diversity and intersectionality of the borough’s LGBTQ+ community.
Like many other Pride events around the world, Hackney Pride’s 365 events programme has been put on hold due to growing concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, so the Council will support Pride Inside.
The nationwide, online series of events is organised by Amnesty International, UK Black Pride, Stonewall and ParaPride, and will feature comedy shows, panel discussions and arts-based events from LGBTQ+ activists.
