Nottinghamshire Pride – As Pride season gets underway in 2022 it marks the 50th anniversary of the first march for LGBTQ+ rights in the UK.
Pride events around the world typically happen during the month of June, marking the Stonewall Riots which happened on June 28 1969 in New York.
The first Pride parade in Nottingham took place on 25 July 2009 with the theme ‘Walk with Pride,’ with Nottinghamshire Pride continuing to take place in July.

The council’s LGBT network has recently celebrated International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, also known as IDAHO-BIT, by proudly raising the rainbow flag on the Council House.
