Statement from the Co-CEO's on the Supreme Court UK ruling:
We as an organisation and both of us as CEO's are deeply concerned about today's ruling by the Supreme Court. This leaves transgender and nonbinary people without a right to exist or use public facilities.
The fight for trans rights is very real and the implications of today's ruling further the need for protest and education to fight discrimination.
The Supreme Court and the Government have been led by people spreading malicious and false information.
We as an organisation, even once set up will always support the WHOLE Trans Community and we want to give a thanks to the political parties who are showing support to the WHOLE LGBT+ community.
In Medway, this is only the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.
We strongly urge Medway Pride to continue Pride as a protest as it originally is and focus this year on the Trans Community and as other Pride Events have done ban Labour and all parties that have shown discrimination against the LGBT+ Community from attending in their parties and strengthen the voices of the political parties (some may not have enough money to sponsor) but show off those parties. This is the only way to get Labour to listen.
We both, as members of the community want to show solidarity.
