So we will return the undiluted solidarity the LGBT+ community gave us in 1984/85 during the miners' strike tomorrow as we join Darlington Pride.
Solidarity has no borders or time limit. Lift your banners and march in solidarity. Darlington and beyond we believe in eqaulity for all. Let's raise the roof tomorrow. United we stand, divided we fall.

This is what local democracy looks like under Reform. They cancel full council meetings so that other political parties can't scrutinise their decision making, then the self proclaimed celebrity announces decisions on social media before the issue has been debated by the requisite committees.

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Our local Trump wannabe is at it again on X! After we shared a post encouraging our followers (yes, people on Facebook who follow us) to remember the values of Pride and reject hate and division, especially in light of the Berlin Pride attack 😔

🌈Now he’s publicly claiming, on behalf of Durham County Council, that they’ll pull funding for the Durham Pride road closure because we dare to disagree with him😱 This little Trumpette even makes council decisions on X, just like his hero 🫡🫡

Fact check: Durham County Council has never funded our road closure.😱

Please follow us, but only if you believe in an inclusive community where everyone is respected; let's keep working together to make that a reality, despite misinformation and division.
