NO PLACE FOR FASCISM AT PRIDE<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
UKiP aim to march at London LGBT Pride. \u00a0For those not in the know, UKIP are a political party that wants the UK to have laws in place that would stop HIV+ people entering the country. \u00a0They want Christians to be able to discriminate against LGBT people. \u00a0They want Immigrants out, and whites in. \u00a0This party is incredibly poisonous. \u00a0However they have a LGBT group, and this group wants to join in pride, complete with UKIP banners and a sense of hatred.<\/p>\n
London Pride has a history of being aimed at white gay men, with anyone else pretty much ignored. \u00a0UKIP marching at Pride isn\u2019t just something that will affect People of Colour though; it affects everyone. \u00a0UKIP may not have a policy on LGBT people, but their councillors have said some very LGBT-phobic things in the past. \u00a0There is no place for them at this celebration.<\/p>\n
On a personal note, I have recently taken over as the Black and Minority Ethnic persons rep on the Pride Community Advisory Board. \u00a0I wasn\u2019t told that UKIP were marching on the parade. \u00a0It was only by accident that I found out about it. I feel that the officers of Pride have ignored non-white LGBT folks yet again. \u00a0But this time I am not going to be silent, and you don\u2019t have to be either.<\/p>\n
