Blackburn Pride and LGBT Art

 Blackburn had its first pride last weekend, it was a brilliant day. I made quite a few friends and there was a lot of kids with LGBT+ flags there, The official total of people on the parade was 1300. For the first ever pride event I think that is amazing ! !

There was entertainment on all afternoon, all local acts. It was a good family day out and there was an after party at the local Geek Retreat that was good also. The parade and entertainment during the day was free as well.

There will be another one next year I have been told. I would like to thank all the organisers who brought such an amazing day to life from a group of us talking about it at a Labour Meeting last November.

LGBT Students at Blackburn Collage show off Art Work

There was an Art Exhibition at the local collage this month also. Lots of LGBT students there had some artwork on display including Katie Louise Dolman, pictured above next to her artwork.

She has this to say about it.

"Being able to create my piece for the exhibition has really been quite a challenging journey, but one that was truly worth all the stress and drama I had to go through to get to where I am now"

Congratulations Katie for an amazing piece ! ! I would have it in my office ! !
