A poster with a background that transitions from light orange to dark blue to represent a sun rise.  The shape of a coffee cup with the progressive pride flag (which is a rainbow with several chevrons overlaid each over of black, brown, white, pink and yellow with a purple ring overlaying the yellow triangle) superimposed on it is in the centre bottom. The image of two soft toy octopus are placed on the rim of the cup so it appears that they are half covered and peeking out. One grey with a frowny face and one pink with a smiley face (cartoon). 
The poster is advertising a queer LGBTQ+ coffee meet up in the Whitehill centre on the 21st of March from 10:30 to12pm. It states to look for the progressive flag and the octopus to find the table.

If you have a Trans loved one in your life please always let them know that you accept, love, support and cherish them. It can be the difference between attending a birthday or a funeral. The fight goes on, in their names.

We had a great day at Saturdays trans+ pride march. With the unprecedent attack on human rights it was great seeing so many people (100,00 according to the organisers) come out in support. Thanks again to the people that made it a great day of action -Laura

It is 71 years since Alan Turing died after being chemically castrated for being homosexual. Only pardoned in 4/12/2013, Turing broke Nazi codes, progressed UK computing and likely shortened ww2.

This is why we organise, because no one’s rights & dignity should be taken because they are Queer.
