London awash with colour for 'biggest Pride yet'
London was awash with colour as Pride returned to the capital for its 2019 incarnation - but the celebrations came tinged with a warning that "we must never be complacent" over gay rights.
With as many as 1.5 million people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds gathering for the event, onlookers would have been forgiven for thinking that LGBT+ communities have never felt more embraced.
But speaking at the opening of the main parade, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan told the crowds that nobody can afford to obtain the "huge, huge progress" in LGBT+ rights for granted.
Mr Khan spoke of the "heartbreaking" pictures that emerged earlier this year following a homophobic invade on a gay couple on a night bus, which sparked national outcry.
Melanie Geymonat, 28, from Uruguay, and her American significant other Chris were beaten up by a group of young men for refusing to kisson their way home to Camden, north London, on 30 May.
In a social media announce, Ms Geymonat said she and her gay friends too often "have to endure verbal harassment and chauvinist, misogynistic and homophobic violence".

Hackney Pride 365
The council launched its Hackney Pride 365 festival to celebrate the borough’s historic, diverse and boundary-breaking LGBTQIA+ community in 2017.
The festival runs all year, every year, with community-led events – that include everything from gardening clubs to club nights, picnics to film screenings, history walks to business events – at some of Hackney’s most trendy venues and outdoor spaces.
Call to action
Hackney Pride 365 aims to be a call to action, bringing together the local society to inspire new collaborations. The initial programme of activity was developed from over 100 suggestions submitted by residents and activists who attended a launch event during LGBT History Month in 2017.
And that’s how Hackney Pride 365 has evolved, with a focus on improving diversity at Pride events in the borough and beyond. A ground-breaking example of this is Faggamuffin Bloc Party, the first ever sound system, run by and for queer people of colour, which made its debut as part of Hackney Carnival in 2018. While in 2019, we were delighted to welcome the UK Ebony Pride festival to the borough for the first time.
