Brighton & Hove Council fly trans flag on Town Hall to show unity and support for trans people on Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20).

**THE council** published a Statement of *Unity and Support*:

*“Brighton & Hove is recognised as a beacon for LGBTQ+ communities and a welcoming city where we are able to be true to ourselves, to live authentically and celebrate the strength that real diversity brings to us as a city.*

*“We stand firmly alongside our trans friends, family, colleagues, students, customers, to defend their right for full inclusion and trans equality.*

*“We recognise the challenges and increasing hostility directed at the trans and non-binary community. We are proud to celebrate our city’s diversity and offer support and solidarity.*

*“Everyone deserves to be valued and treated with respect. That is not open to debate. Trans lives are not a debate.*

*“In Brighton & Hove we are proud to come out for trans equality.*

*“We welcome you to join us.”*
