Pride in London was so good I did it twice!

First, in person, with @fightingwithpride.bsky.social as part of the Whole Defence contingent

Second, on a video screen on the Imperial War Museum float, at Pride for the first time.

Welcome, IWM, to Pride
Thank you for telling our stories

No-one can get close enough to put treats in 🤦‍♂️

Celebrating Pride 🏳️‍🌈 with @bletchleybark.bsky.social and @nationaltrust.org.uk

Leeds Pride 25 Leeds Pride 25 celebrates LGBTQ+ individuals and allies from the global Leeds community making a positive impact in the Pride space.

It's Pride Month and I'm chuffed to feature in the Pride 25 @universityofleeds.bsky.social
What I denied, hid, and was ashamed of is now celebrated

Are you not half-marathoning round the landmarks?

The committee is in good hands

Sunny Northumberland for a great beach holiday

There are days when I actively avoid news feeds

Sunday Worship - The Central Church of the RAF - BBC Sounds Marking 25 years since the lifting of the ban on LGBTQ+ personnel serving in HM Forces.

I attended this special service last month @DanesChurch.

Organised by @RAF_LGBT to celebrate 25 years since ‘the ban’ was lifted
Surprisingly moving experience - spiritually if not religious

Great sounds by @RAFMusic

Justice and Pride -"Superbia Iustitia"

are the words on the LGBT+ Veterans Badge, the 'Etherton Ribbon', issued by @DefenceHQ to those impacted by 'the ban'

Chatting with the Chief of the Air Staff at the MoD reception in Thames Pavilion marking 25 years since the LGBT Ban was lifted.

A pleasure to share the evening with @raf_lgbtq_network and the other service networks (not shown)

25th anniversary of the Lifting of the LGBT Ban in the Armed Forces

25 years ago today was the last day LGBT personnel were banned from the UK military

Tomorrow, celebrate the lifting of that ban
Today, remember the lives it changed

Brisk walk across the park from #WSM2025 to see @RCoAPresident present ACSA Accreditation to the Anaesthetic Dept @imperialnhs

A great achievement for a multi-site academic Trust and Major Trauma Centre
@rcoanews.bsky.social

Do you have to get permission each time?

Yesterday was a milestone for LGBT Veterans and @fightingwpride:

A financial recognition scheme announced by @DefenceHQ , and a debate on the Independent Review

My thanks to @joepowell.bsky.social , MP for Kensington Bayswater for his kind words in the debate, and for months of support

It’s been great to be part of this collaboration between military, civilian, academic and volunteer experts (including SJA)

My first conference on 🦋
Proud to preside over #TSAS2024

Happy 'guerilla' memories
