Pride in London was so good I did it twice!

First, in person, with @fightingwithpride.bsky.social as part of the Whole Defence contingent

Second, on a video screen on the Imperial War Museum float, at Pride for the first time.

Welcome, IWM, to Pride
Thank you for telling our stories

It's Pride Month and I'm chuffed to feature in the Pride 25 @universityofleeds.bsky.social
What I denied, hid, and was ashamed of is now celebrated

I attended this special service last month @DanesChurch.

Organised by @RAF_LGBT to celebrate 25 years since ‘the ban’ was lifted
Surprisingly moving experience - spiritually if not religious

Great sounds by @RAFMusic

Justice and Pride -"Superbia Iustitia"

are the words on the LGBT+ Veterans Badge, the 'Etherton Ribbon', issued by @DefenceHQ to those impacted by 'the ban'

Professor Andrew Hartle reflects on his incredible 40+ year career for LGBT+ History Month.

Do read his moving account in the winter issue of the Bulletin. 📖 ow.ly/z2Ze50UU1a1

In his words "Role model: no. Proud out gay anaesthetist: yes."

25 years ago today was the last day LGBT personnel were banned from the UK military

Tomorrow, celebrate the lifting of that ban
Today, remember the lives it changed
