This page provides details of national Fighting With Pride events open for members of the LGBTQ+ Armed Forces Community to attend
Event organisers include FWP, the single services, and military and non-military organisations. Any questions about individual events should be addressed to the event organiser’s point of contact, as indicated in the event information provided.
We will keep this list updated with most imminent events at the top of the list. Please check in to see what events are coming up you may wish to sign up for.
A service of Reflection & Reparation will be held in Ripon Cathedral on Sunday 14th of June. Full details will follow shortly, including how you can attend.
We have had the formal dedication of the LGBT+ Armed Forces Community Memorial with His Majesty The King in attendance, and it was a truly wonderful event.
However, we are very aware that not everyone got the opportunity to attend due to the controlled nature and restricted numbers that such an event meant.
Fighting With Pride are pleased to announce that we have secured a date during Pride Month and the start of Armed Forces Week for a much less formal gathering for the community for all those who couldn’t attend, our family and friends who mean so much to us.
The full details and format of this is being finalised, but suffice to say the alternative name for the day is the “Great Gay Gathering” so you can be assured a much more celebratory and colourful event!
