Mike Weatherley the Conservative MP for Hove and Portslade explains why Pride Matters to him.
“Pride is an incredibly important event for Brighton & Hove and this year we have more to celebrate than ever. Voting last year for Same-sex Marriages was a huge leap for LGBT equality in this country and Pride 2014 will be the first Pride where we will have married same-sex couples from England!“I’m delighted to have had the honour to walk on the parade as the Conservative Member of Parliament for Hove and Portslade and hope to do so again this year. “I love the theme Freedom to Live – it very much sums up my attitude to life. However, while we have Freedom to Live in this country, sadly so many LGBT couples around the world do not have that freedom. This is unacceptable and just one of the reasons why holding Pride events are so important.”Mike WeatherleyConservative MP for Hove and Portslade
