We are flying the rainbow flag this week in support of Southampton Pride, which takes place in the city this Saturday 26 August.
Festivities begin on West Marlands Road (outside the Stage Door) from 11:00 on Saturday, with live music from midday and continuing through to the official post-parade party at the Edge & Box Bar.
The Community Parade will leave the Stage Door at 14:00, heading around Guildhall Square and down Above Bar Street to the Bargate monument.
Come and join the University of Southampton (UoS) Pulse LGBT+ Staff Network for the parade. Please register on Eventbrite so they can get an idea of numbers attending on the day.
A number of UoS Pulse LGBT+ Staff Network t-shirts are available to wear, so register to avoid disappointment.
UoS Pulse LGBT+ Staff Network welcomes all friends and colleagues, to join the parade under the University banner.
James Allen, Chair Designate of the Pulse LGBT+ Staff Network, said:
“Pride is the chance to show that at the University, we value diversity, equality and being inclusive. It reminds us that we should be respectful of everyone, whatever our background, and by celebrating what makes us unique, it helps in bringing us together.”
