Stonewall at Pride London

Stonewall is a large charity based in the UK for LGB rights and equality. They came together due to Section 28 of the Local Government Act, legislation designed to prevent the so-called ‘promotion’ of homosexuality in schools. They are now most recognisable for their ‘SOME PEOPLE ARE GAY. GET OVER IT!’ campaign. The following photos are from Stonewall’s campaign in this years World Pride London. They adapted their GET OVER IT poster for this Pride by using different languages. I found this collection of languages really interesting. Same design, same message, different language.

World Pride London 2012, July 7th

This year London was the host of World Pride for the LGBT community and proud supporters from around the globe! Such a vibrant and colourful event, full of love and unity.

A massive rainbow flag I helped carry through the streets of London from Baker Street to Trafalgar Square. It was a long walk,and despite the dull weather, I’ve never seen the streets of London so bright and colourful!

Google’s poster showing their support for same sex marriage.

Amnesty International posters. There’s something about the bold and blunt text that I find appealing, especially in this context. It really shows that this is a statement, a fact, not something that can be banned because of gender. Love is a human right. Not just a heterosexual right.

Another Amnesty International poster. This one showing the extent of homophobic hatred in the world.
