Today is the eighth annual Liverpool Pride March.
The theme for this years march is International Love, highlighting LGBT+ lives around the world. The theme coincides with the city’s wider 50 Summers of Love festival, which celebrates 50 years since the decriminalisation of homosexuality. The March leaves St George’s Plateau outside the iconic St George’s Hall Liverpool at 12pm.
Participants are encouraged to gather from 10.30am and are advised that extra security checks will be in operation and checks will move much faster if participants arrive without bags.
As always, the festival coincides with the anniversary of murdered gay teenager Michael Causer, who tragically lost his life on 2 August 2008.
Liverpool Pride was specifically created in Michael’s memory in 2010 as a community response and a positive way to celebrate his life, while empowering the LGBT+ communities.
The Liverpool Pride March will be led by members of Michael Causer’s family. Below are photographs from last years Liverpool Pride March.
