Nottingham's Pride Shop, situated at 65 Maid Marian Way, Nottingham, NG1 6AJ, is marking the Pride Season, with this lovely message to all their supporters:
It’s that vibrant, beautiful time of year again—Pride Month! A time to celebrate love, identity, and the powerful spirit of a community that continues to shine brighter, stand taller, and move forward—together.
Pride isn’t just about rainbow flags (though we love them!)—it’s about courage, visibility, and the freedom to be who we are, unapologetically. It’s a time to honour the trailblazers who came before us, the ones who marched, protested, and stood proud when it wasn’t easy—or even safe—to do so.
But it’s also a reminder:
We can never take our rights for granted.
In recent years, we’ve seen just how fragile progress can be. Around the world and in our own backyards, members of the LGBTQ+ community still face discrimination, violence, and policies that threaten to roll back decades of hard-fought rights. That’s why it’s more important than ever to stand together—in solidarity, in love, and in the unwavering belief that everyone deserves to live fully and freely.
This Pride Month, let’s:
- Celebrate loudly and joyfully
- Stand up for one another
- Listen, support, and uplift all voices—especially those in the most marginalized corners of our community
- Keep pushing for equality, justice, and inclusion every day—not just in June
Whether you're LGBTQ+ or an ally, your voice matters. Let’s use it to create a world where no one has to hide who they are—and where love always wins.
From all of us here at The Pride Shop and Pride Space Happy Pride! Keep shining. Keep rising. Keep being you.
