Intersectionality is vital in the fight for equality. A person's overlapping social identities—such as being both Black and LGBTQI+—can create unique experiences of discrimination.
Our aim: a truly inclusive & equitable Watford for everyone.

Hertfordshire's biggest & best LGBTQIA+ celebration - Herts Pride, Sat 30th August.
While partying - do remember there are people in countries across the globe who are still unable to live and love openly.
The fight is not over for us, until it's over for all of us.

🌈 Herts Pride 2025 is joyful, yes — but it’s also political.
In an age of rising extremism and radical authoritarian populism, our theme is #Connections. Because we are far more connected — in blood and spirit — than hate would have us believe.

Meet Dora Richter.
Trans people were one of communities persecuted by the Nazis, and many of the famous images of book burning were taken at the Institute for Sexual Research where Dora was a patient.
She was the first person known to undergo complete male to female gender affirming surgery.

In the words of our Proud Watford patron and veteran Bryan Timberlake – now 92:

In the years to come, please remember, it's our job to defend what's right.
Human & Proud.“

Today we pay tribute to Dr James Barry, an outstanding doctor who undertook the first c-section where both mother & baby survived.
Born female in Ireland, Barry lived both public & private life as a man.
It was only after death that his birth gender was discovered.

Like so much LGBTQIA+ history, trans history has been hidden, but it is there.
We can find lots of examples of people who were trans or gender non conforming, throughout history - for example the Gallus of Catterick.
