The weekend has involved months of planning, building on LGBT+ History Month in February and Pride Month in June, when Ludlow Pride took place and various events were held in Shrewsbury. “I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage people who may not be aware of the range of ongoing local activities to have a look and see if they would like to join in. In the meantime, well done again to everyone involved.”
Additionally, the Wave Exhibition, featuring photographic portraits of older members of the LGBTQ+ community waving at the camera, will run on the gallery at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury until mid-October. LGBTQ+ interest books are available at all Shropshire libraries. These are available on the shelves or available on request from smaller branches.LGBTQ+ emagazines are available via Pressreader. UK e-magazines currently available are Gay Times, HISKIND and Pride Life Magazine, as well as other international publications.
