Exeter Pride

Exeter Pride Working to celebrate Exeter's LGBT+ (Le***an, Gay, Bisexual and Trans) Communities!

Exeter Pride is an entirely volunteer-led organisation, made up of a Committee of elected Trustees, and a small but dedicated team of volunteers.

24/05/2026

The new EHRC guidance breaks the Equality Act - Trans/non-binary and gender non-comforming people can be excluded from facilities and pushed out of daily life.
It will be law in 40 days - without any manifesto commitments, or even a single vote unless our MPs demand one NOW.
Join us in protest.

Sunday 31st May, 1-3pm. Bedford Square, Princesshay.

Image-description:
Poster detailing upcoming protest against the new EHCR guidance. It reads:
"Protest Labour's Bathroom Ban. Say no to segregation of trans people. Sunday 31st of May 2026 1 PM to 3 PM. Bedford Square, Princesshay EX1 1GJ. Hosted by Trans Pride Exeter www.TPEX.uk."

The body of the poster is a drawing of protest placards in pastel pink, blue, yellow and purple with various phrases including "30 year waiting lists", "spat on", "outed", "banned from toilets", "denied healthcare", "denied homes", "denied equal access", "denied employment", and "segregated". Other placards show a circle with a cross through. "

Our fabulous Chair, Russell popped along at today's opening event:"It was great to see it all finally coming together, Adam has been beavering away getting local q***r artists involved and also using our Heritage materials showcasing a small glimpse of the long history of Exeter Pride. Make sure you check out the original big Pride flag that's on display there with all it's cuts, marks and memories, there's a lot of history in the flag!"
