LGBTQ+ Staff Network

Pride Month 2025

Pride Month marks a time to raise awareness and increase visibility of the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ people. We hope to provide a platform where LGBTQ+ people are seen and heard, so that we can celebrate their lives and achievements whilst highlighting the discrimination the community continues to face. By providing realistic representation of the LGBTQ+ community, we can better educate ourselves which will allow us to make meaningful change and create a safer, more inclusive environment for all.

 

Pride Events

UHLG and our LGBTQ+ networks remain committed to honouring Pride’s spirit of celebration and inclusivity. It’s more important than ever, and we hope you’ll join us in coming together to uplift and support our LGBTQ+ staff, patients, and local community. We encourage everyone to also consider attending one of the fantastic regional Pride events taking place this summer across the region:

• Sefton Pride – Saturday 14^th June 2025, Salt & Tar, Bootle
• Halton Pride – Saturday 5^th July 2025, Runcorn Linnets Football Club
• St Helens Pride – Saturday 12^th July 2025, Willowbrook - The Living Well

• Wirral Pride – Saturday 9^th August 2025, Victoria Quarter, New Brighton
• Chester Pride – Saturday 16^th August 2025, Castle Square

We are working closely with the LGBTQ+ network leads regionally to organise attendance at these Prides so that we’re still celebrating the wonderful queer community that we have across Cheshire and Merseyside.

LGBT Foundation - Intro to Services Talk

Information: As healthcare professionals, understanding the unique needs of LGBTQ+ individuals is essential to delivering inclusive and person-centred care. As part of our celebrations for Pride Month, we’re delighted to host LGBT Foundation again to deliver another talk, this time for an introductory session on their services and how they can support both your patients and your practice. In this session, LGBT Foundation will introduce their three free, high-quality services now available to all residents of the Liverpool City Region, including their Recovery Support Service, Domestic Abuse Support Service, and their Sexual Health Service. You’ll hear how these services provide tailored, affirming support and how they can enhance both your clinical practice and patient outcomes. You'll find out where to signpost people who may be in need of these vital services. Whether you're in primary care, mental health, community services, or another part of the NHS, this is a valuable opportunity to build more inclusive pathways of care for LGBTQ+ people.

Walk with Pride

Information: On Sunday 8^th June 2025, LGBTQ+ members of staff and allies brought joy and colour to Sefton Park with UHLG’s Walk with Pride event.

The event, in collaboration with Merseyside Queer Walks, was an amazing kick off to pride month. It was wonderful to see so many people walking together in support of the LGBTQ+ community at a time when visibility and allyship are more important than ever. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on the day!

Following the success of her brilliantly engaging talk during LGBTQ+ History Month back in February, Deià will be returning in June to deliver an online webinar exploring queer history. This session will focus on the importance of Pride, the complex history of LGBTQ+ medicine, and how we can learn from the past to inform more inclusive practice today. You'll learn about the history of the relationship between the NHS and the queer community and how that influences expectations of care today, as well as why LGBTQ+ inclusion is especially important in health and social care. The feedback from her previous session was overwhelmingly positive, and we’re honoured to offer staff another opportunity to learn about queer history from a passionate and knowledgeable speaker.

Butterfly Boutique

Information: Our friends over at Axess are putting on regular clothes swap events for trans and non-binary people, as part of their Butterfly Boutique. The Butterfly Boutique will be a safe space for trans and non-binary folk to exchange gender affirming clothing and meet with members of the community. It would be wonderful if people could bring in clothing to donate to this. Especially if you have anything gender affirming (e.g. binders, dresses, shirts etc.). If you’re an ally to the trans community, this is a wonderful way to help out, and give your unwanted clothing to people who may need it. For trans and non-binary people, wearing gender affirming clothes is a way of expressing their gender and is often a life changing step in social transition. What is just a shirt or dress you don’t wear can be a source of joy and euphoria for a trans person. Please share widely with your teams, you never know who might benefit from this. If you have any trans friends or family, please share with them so they can come to this wonderful event and hopefully feel some of that joy the community needs now more than ever. You can drop any items off at the address listed below. See posters below for more details.

In 1978 gay rights activist Gilbert Baker created the first Pride flag with the goal of it being a symbol for everyone. Since then, many new flags have been created to represent all communities within the LGBTQ+ community.

 

The Pride Flag

The colour red represents life, orange represents healing, yellow represents sunlight, green represents nature, blue represents peace/harmony and violet represents spirit.

 

 

Progress Pride Flag

The Progress Pride Flag is the updated pride flag, which acknowledges queer people of colour with the black and brown strips. In addition, the pink, white, and blue are a representation of the transgender flag.

 

 

Intersex Inclusive Pride Flag

The Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag adds the intersex community to the Progress Pride Flag. With this update coming in 2021, this serves as the most up-to-date LGBTQ+ flag. 

 

 

Transgender Pride Flag

The three colours of the Transgender Pride Flag represent women and girls (pink) men and boys (blue) and white for those are intersex, transitioning or describe themselves as having an unidentified gender.

 

 

Bisexual Pride Flag

The pink represents those who are attracted to the same gender identity, the purple for attraction to two genders and blue represents those are attracted to a different gender.

 

 

Lesbian Pride Flag

The colours represent gender nonconformity (dark orange), independence (orange), community (light orange), unique connections to womanhood (white), tranquillity and peace (pink), dusty pink (love and sex), and dark rose (femininity).

 

Pansexual Pride Flag

The Colours represent attraction to those who identify as female (pink), the attraction to those who identify as male (blue), and attraction to those who identify as genderqueer, nonbinary, agender, androgynous, or anyone who doesn’t identify on the male-female binary (yellow).

 

Intersex Pride Flag

The flag is contains a golden yellow field, with a purple circle emblem, to avoid gender stereotypes.

 

 

Asexual Pride Flag

The black represents asexuality, the grey for grey-asexuality and demisexuality, the white for non-asexual partners, and the purple for community.

 

 

Nonbinary Pride Flag

The colours represent people completely outside of the gender binary (yellow), people with multiple genders (white), people whose identity incorporates aspects of male and female (purple), and those who do not identify with any specific gender (black).

 

Agender Pride Flag

The colours represent absence of gender (black and white), semi-genderlessness (grey), and nonbinary genders (green).

 

 

 

Gender-Fluid Pride Flag

The colours represent feminine (pink), absence of gender (white), the combination of masculine and feminine (purple), genders who do not share feminine or masculine traits (black), and masculine (blue).

 

 

Gender Queer Pride Flag

The use of lavender is meant as a combination of pink and blue, symbolizing a mixture of male and female. On the other hand, the dark green is meant to stand for people who identify beyond the gender binary and stand as the opposite of lavender. The white signifies the absence of gender.
