Today, the Grimsby and Cleethorpes Liberal Democrats stand united with our community to champion equal rights and celebrate diversity at the annual Pride event held at Freeman Street Market. As the only political party actively campaigning at the event, we are proud to take a stand for what is right. It’s been a fantastic day filled with meaningful conversations, and we extend a huge thank you to everyone involved in making the day so welcoming and fun.
At our stall, we showcased our long Lib Dem history of supporting LGBT rights, dating back to 1967. This proud legacy can be explored further with the image below:-
A significant part of our presence today was our campaign and petition to Ban Conversion Therapy. We are immensely grateful for the overwhelming support it received, with many people stopping to sign. Conversion therapy is offensive, abusive, and dangerous. It should have been banned years ago.
Sexual orientation or gender identity is not a problem to be treated and ‘cured’. It’s who we are.
The Conservatives promised to ban conversion therapy five years ago, but they've failed to do so. Now Liberal Democrat peer Lorely Burt is bringing forward a new law to ban the practices.
If you would like to back the Liberal Democrats campaign for a full, trans-inclusive ban on all forms of conversion therapy, click this link to sign our petition -
Thank you for standing with us in this important cause. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive community for everyone.
