UK Pride groups suspend involvement of political parties
- The organizers of the UK's four largest Pride events in London, Birmingham, Brighton, and Manchester have collectively decided to prohibit political parties from taking part in the 2025 parades.
- The UK Supreme Court unanimously decided in April 2025 that the terms "woman" and "sex" as used in the Equality Act 2010 are defined solely by biological characteristics, thereby excluding trans women from these definitions.
- Pride organizers cite rising transphobic hate crimes, NHS healthcare restrictions for trans youth, and political parties' lack of wholehearted support as key reasons for suspending party involvement this year.
- The joint statement emphasized a unified support for the trans community and urged concrete actions and measurable advancements in securing trans rights and improving access to gender-affirming healthcare.
- The suspension signals a demand for accountability from political parties and emphasizes protecting trans dignity and safety amid growing attacks on trans rights in the UK and globally.
