Last week our LGBT+ Allies employee network hosted a 'Love is Love' event to celebrate love & mark LGBT+ History Month.

The day also focused on sharing good practice with representatives from @FbuLgbt, @DerbyshireLGBT charity, UK FirePRIDE & @prideinbelper among others.

[FBU LGBT+ @FbuLgbt]

Happy National Coming Out Day to all of you wonderful people.
Regardless of how long ago you came out or whether you’re out at all - be proud of yourself and the journey you are on.
You are valued, you are loved, you are you.

“Deregulation and austerity has torn apart our industry. Central funding has been gutted, 1 in 5 jobs lost and the average response time to your house fire increased from 6 minutes to 9.”

Supported by our comrades @RMTunion

[Adam Taylor @AdamT9372]

Great intervention by @FbuLgbt Maria Buck, on the @The_TUC , Sexual Harassment in the Workplace/Movement, debate.

Every member has the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

“Anything less, isn’t equality “

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

Join a union today.

“Enough is enough. It is the duty of every member to treat each other with dignity and respect and to challenge sexual harassment and discrimination. Equality must be a practice and not a policy.” Maria Buck @FbuLgbt ✊
