With Pride events popping up across Cumbria, young LGBTQ+ people explain why they remain important.
Since then, the LGBTQ+ community has successfully campaigned for many rights, including the legalisation of same-sex marriage.
"I went through the pronouns - they, them and then he, him - doing it gradually helped me not feel scared, as such." Although the Carlisle event is in its 15th edition, smaller Prides have been popping up across the rural county in recent years. Stuart Ritson, from Pinc - Pride In North Cumbria - which is behind the event, said: "We want it to be a celebration of the expanding community that we have in Cumbria - race, gender, sexuality, disability."
