"Visibility is so important; being queer and belonging to a particular ethnic group do not have to be mutually exclusive. Our diversity is what makes the LGBTQ+ community so beautiful and I'm so proud to be a part of that!" Hetal, Wirral

Ailis said: "Pride Inside gave an opportunity to not only fill the void of lost events this year, but remind myself to celebrate who I am during a time filled with fear and negativity. It's often hard to escape these feelings, especially when we're stuck at home, but taking a day to get dressed up with my girlfriend and celebrating our love was a welcome break from the usual!"
Rhiannon said: "Queer people cannot, and will not, be hidden away and although Pride has to be kept inside this year, myself and other LGBTQ+ people can still shine bright as our true selves. Plus, any chance to spill rainbow glitter everywhere is a win for me!"
