Man offended by 'Pride bus' loses damages claim

A Stagecoach double-decker bus in Ride with Pride livery at a Pride event

Pride FM News · 11 November 2026

A devout Catholic who claimed a Pride-themed bus caused him distress has had his claim for damages dismissed. In a case heard in Scotland, Mark Jennings had brought the case against the Scottish-based Stagecoach company after a bus on the Whitstable to Canterbury route in Kent ran covered in rainbow colouring and a 'Ride with Pride logo.' The Kent Online news service reports the case was dismissed because Mr. Jennings had brought the action against the wrong company and should instead have sued the company which trades as Stagecoach South East. Mr Jennings is now liable for the costs of bringing the case. The court heard that three of Stagecoach South East's 408 buses displayed rainbow livery to support Pride Month.
