Leicester students stand up for LGBTQ+ at Pride March
Here are some of the faces from today’s Pride March
Around 40 students gathered outside the O2 to march for LGBTQ+ rights and awareness today.
According to the organiser of the event, Rasteen Riyahi Boni, 1,500 students at Leicester are LGBTQ+.
Rasteen organised the event as since the EU Referendum, homophobic attacks have gone up 147% in the UK. She commented: “We won’t tolerate this on our campus. Leicester University is no place for hate. It is up to us to end it.”
Ben, Gavin, James, Ollie – Rugby Union
“We are here to represent Men’s Rugby Union and show our support for the LGBTQ+ community.”
Imy and Sarah – Ladies Hockey
“Ladies Hockey are always proud to represent LGBTQ+. All sports teams should make this a priority in their clubs to ensure a safer environment.”
Jess and Mae – Women’s Lacrosse
“It is important to make people aware that homophobia still exists and we should show intolerance as a sport club.”
Dan – Activities Officer
“I’m here because homophobia is still a real experience for our students.”
Mads and Libby – Netball
“We are working hard too ensure that the Netball Club is inclusive and in full support of LGBTQ+. The pride march is a great way to raise awareness and show everyone on campus that it is an issue which needs to be tackled!”
