This year, Southampton will join many other cities in having a Transgender Pride.
The event, organised by People’s Pride Southampton, will celebrate all transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, gender fluid and gender non-conforming people.
Set to take place on October 15, the event will begin with a march from the city’ Bargate at noon, and will then march to Edmund Kell Unitarian Church for the event itself, starting officially at 1pm.
Southampton’s Transgender Pride will feature a variety of speakers from the local transgender community. There will also be table top stalls for organisations giving out advice. The venue we will also have a quiet area. Face masks will be available as the organisers are aware of the possibility of facing a growing number of Covid-19 cases this autumn.People’s Pride run a number of event throughout the city, including the hugely successful Party in the Park in June, regular street stalls, family fun days and a Trans Rights Protest in Southampton in 2020, following the rejection of the Gender Recognition Act reformation.
