Maidstone Greens have welcomed Maidstone first Pride event in the town. Pride celebrates LGBTQIA+ people, welcomes diversity and protests against inequality. Local Greens joined the march through the town and joined the main event in Lockmeadow.
Cllr Stuart Jeffery said, “We are all really grateful for the organisers and all who took part in Maidstone’s first Pride. It was wonderful to see so many people celebrating diversity. LGBTQIA+ people still face discrimination but events such as Pride have helped to reduce this over many decades.”
