At the end of the evening, viewers can take part in a live recording and Q&A with the hosts of **Qmmunity**, the award-winning British podcast, discussing LGBTQ+ culture, history and identity.

In celebration and recognition of **Pride Month**, Get Living, the UK’s pioneer build-to-rent operator, is encouraging residents in its Manchester and London neighbourhoods to tune in, as well as the wider public.

**Eoin Thomas**, event co-ordinator, said: *‘Many of our LGBTQ+ residents and allies were excited to attend Pride events this year, but unfortunately due to the ongoing situation, that’s no longer safe or possible.*

*‘We wanted to create a fully inclusive event that is as representative as possible of the modern queer experience, giving us an opportunity to celebrate LGBTQ+ lives, as well as learning in a fun, engaging way with our amazing panellists.’*

No registration is required to attend the event, which will be streamed live on the Get Living [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/GetLiving/).
