Pride Month at Aston Bond

Pride Month is a special time for us to come together and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, look back on how far society has come, and acknowledging the progress to come. This month is all about honouring their history, commemorating the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, when the LGBTQ+ community stood up against systemic police brutality and discrimination. This sparked a global movement for equality and visibility, as the community continue to face challenges that go far beyond the symbolic.

We need Pride Month because, even in places where progress has been made, LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination in housing, healthcare, education, and employment. Hate crimes against the community continue to happen. For instance, trans rights are at risk in numerous countries, with harmful legislation targeting access to gender-affirming care and legal recognition.

Because many young LGBTQ+ people still grow up feeling isolated or unsafe, facing higher rates of bullying, mental health issues, and homeless. This is why visibility, representation, and support are needed.

While society has come a long way, acceptance is not yet universal – and rights won can still be taken away.

Pride month is a celebration of identity, resilience, and the freedom to be yourself. It’s about amplifying voices that have been silenced and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, safe, and valued.

Aston Bond stands with the LGBTQ+ community and the fight for equal rights which is why, in celebration of Pride Month, we’re offering free 20-minute phone consultations all June long for members of the LGBTQ+ community who have faced discrimination. If you’ve had challenges at work, in housing, or elsewhere, our friendly team is here to listen, support, and provide guidance. Just give us a call at 01753 486 777 to book your free consultation with our team. We look forward to hearing from you!
