London Pride 2022 celebrated 50 years of fighting for the right to love who we want and triggered some real emotions in us. Marching at the front of the parade were activists who were there when it all started back in 1972. Old and young together, the power of collective activism felt all the more poignant as other events around the world turn back the clock on our right to choose. This one comes directly from the heart. It is emotional. We hope you find some solidarity in joining us as we reflect on a joyful protest and a collective trauma. You might need tissues. You also get to hear Teia talk about when she was part of Dykes on Bikes...

Trigger Warning: We talk about gun violence, terrorism and instances where it affects children. If you need to talk to someone, these organisations can help:
