Bring Back Lesbian Pride – (Women Only March, Alternative to London Pride)

This is our day. Our space. Our voice.
We’re not waiting to be included. We’re showing up.

Date: Saturday 5th July 2025
Time: 11:00 AM
Meeting Point: Emmeline Pankhurst Statue, Victoria Tower Gardens South (next to Parliament)
Route: Walk to Parliament Square (short speeches), then back to the park for a picnic – or nearby pub if it rains

WHO THIS IS FOR
Lesbian and bisexual women only.
No men. No exceptions.
(One female photographer will be present to document the day – opt-out available.)

WHY WE’RE MARCHING
Because Pride doesn’t speak for us.
Because lesbian visibility is being erased.
Because we’re still here – and we’re not going anywhere.

WHAT TO EXPECT
• Short, powerful speeches (3 mins max each)
• Peaceful walk to Parliament
• Return to the park for food, conversation, connection
• Real-life lesbian networks. No gatekeeping. No performance.

WHAT’S COVERED
Over £500 already paid in advance to cover:
• Permits
• SIA-licensed security
• High-vis stewards
• First aid
• Megaphones and PA system
• Banners, placards, and flyers

This march is entirely self-funded.

They erased us from Pride.
We’re marching anyway.
