Plymouth’s LGBTQ+ Pride parade had been fractured in the lead-up to the event. Some people broke away from planning the march after hearing of the involvement of companies Babcock and BT.
Babcock, a UK-based multinational corporation, has made applications for export licences for military equipment to Israel, making them a questionable and inappropriate sponsor of Pride. Trans Pride and others stated: “No Pride in genocide”.
BT has announced that 55,000 of their 130,000 employees will be laid off over the next six years, as part of a move into ‘AI automation’. This will affect people in Plymouth.

Nice one. Corporations hanging rainbow flags without doing anything for community doesn’t help anyone.
Much appreciated thanks. And yes rainbow flags (branded) and corporate sponsors retract from the movement but this is why we must be vocal.
