@rectripp @number8_FG Amazing! Thanks! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️✊🏽🥰

Just dropped off my contribution to Miniature Forest Gate at @number8_FG. I had FAR too much fun making this out of things I found in the recycling bin: a lolly stick, a paper cup, a PG tips box and a used envelope amongst others. I wanted to portray @FGPride!

Wonderful & joyous celebration as new Pride lamp post wraps installed in Forest Gate in collaboration with our LGBTQI+ communities 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈We stand in solidarity 🏳️‍⚧️Love will prevail. We Are Newham ✊🏾🫶🏽🌟 @FGPride @RKDasgupta @melanie_onovo @Uma_Kumaran @CarolynCorben ❤️

🌈 Hope after hate After the awful acts of homophobic hate crime in Forest Gate this summer, it was wonderful to celebrate the installation of five permanent LGBTQ+ Pride flags with the community Hate has no place in Stratford and Bow, hope will always triumph @FGPride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🏳️‍🌈 Singing, laughter, unity and solidarity - as one community with @FGPride 🌈 We will always stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight for equality; and against acts of hatred against our LGBTQ+ community We have not and will not let hate win here

@FGPride And a dedicated post for a special little ally and participant… Dolly - she’s only 4 months old and very excitable! As you can see, I was just as excited to meet her 😍

@Uma_Kumaran Together we are strong and will over come hatred from outside the LGBTQIA+ community. United with allies like @Uma_Kumaran and @rokhsanafiaz we will be a strong force to contend with. ✊🏼✊🏽🏳️‍🌈❤️❤️❤️🏳️‍⚧️✊🏽✊🏼
