ALT You may notice that no political parties will be present at Bristol Pride this year. We have decided to not allow any political parties to have a stall, or walk with us as organisations in the march until more is done to stand up for our entire community, ensuring that LGBT+ rights are embedded into policy, and that none of our community is left behind. We recognise that parties have many members and managing all voices and opinions is difficult. However leadership and party line comes from the top and not enough is currently being done to support our community and to lead by example in tackling prejudice and hatred. We also recognise and value the good work being done in the city to support the LGBT+ community, including the passing of a cross party motion to recognise trans rights as human rights. But all great work done locally is undermined by the actions of party leaders and MPs who are unwilling or able to stand up for their LGBT+ constituents.
ALT STATEMENT FROM DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR UK Drag Queen Story Hour UK hosts interactive and family-oriented drag events where a love for literature is at its very core. We have hosted over 280+ of these shows for families within the past year, from February 2022 to February 2023. We have seen our social media skyrocket to a reach of over 4.1 million people at times. Unfortunately, we have had people protest our events too, but people who have attended our events as audience members have always outnumbered those who protest. The largest protest count we have seen against one of our events has been 35 people, whereas the largest number of people we have seen outside supporting our events is over 300. These numbers are reports given to us by the police after the protests have happened. We have seen a dramatic increase in support and attendance. Drag Queen Story Hour provides LGBTQ role models for young people, and our events are more than just wanted, they are needed. Young LGBT+ people are
