Carl from Leeds says "So I can't believe I'm telling you this, but I came out to my two sisters by text. They were fine, then from there all my friends from school already knew, so I was I was raring to go. This song will be forever be my "getting ready" song." Listen to Carl's story and watch the video of his favourite Pride song below.
Chris from Luton says "the first Pride I went to was in London way back in the 1980s, it was definitely more of a protest than a celebration.There were no LGBT role models back then but there was this song, which definitely made a connection with me." Listen to his story and watch the video of his favourite Pride song below.

"I clearly remember to this day the very first time I went into a queer space all those years ago, do you know it still gives me goosebumps thinking back on it today.
“We’ve made a rule that we don’t travel anywhere that isn’t LGBTQI+ friendly, so it narrows the choices but at the same time we know we’re going to be safe and accepted wherever we go”
“Being gay and being part of the LGBTQI+ community is now who I am, and if you took that part away from me now, it just wouldn't make me authentically me any more.”
“I never said anything to anyone for years,. I know people know, but it’s admitting it to yourself. That's the first step and the hardest part, definitely for my generation”

Our mission here at Pride FM is to support local Pride events right across the UK, working with them, and others, to further help to entertain, educate, inform, celebrate and raise awareness for LGBTQI+ issues, encourage inclusion and tolerance, and empower queer voices.
