The EHRC has drawn up transphobic and exclusionary guidance that will segregate and push trans people out of public life. It treats trans people as second class citizens, treating them as a "third s*x" leaving them without a toilet to legally and safely use, and the spaces they can use are often locked behind radar keys.

The guidance is unworkable and unenforceable and was still passed despite 167 MPs signing a motion to dismiss the guidance. This new code will come into effect on August 5th and we’re going to mark that day with a protest.

We will be meeting at 5:30pm at Market Square for a static protest, with a placard making session from 4pm at Hive Cooperative Cafe.

Let’s call on government, venues, businesses and our unions to resist, reject and defy the guidance. Trans dignity matters, trans rights matter.

For 10 weeks, founder of Hive, Gabby and a collection of awesome people came together after we were notified that Kirklees would be handing over Pride to be community led!

Many amazing people came together and so proud of what we achieved with limited funds and time. A huge shout out to all those involved in the planning and delivery of this vital event, marking 45 years since the first Pride protest outside of London came to Huddersfield. Those same sentiments stay the same, especially during these turbulent political times. As an ally Gabby was immensely grateful to be part of the voluntary committee, and will remain a staunch advocate for the community; ensuring and fighting for a safe and inclusive Huddersfield!

Thank you for ensuring this event took place, to our amazing volunteers on the day and the performers who gave it their all! Our stall holders, suppliers and teams who ensured our event was safe for everyone to enjoy! Last but not least for those people who came and supported the event…. 2027 will be bigger and remain a vital event for our town!

Simply amazing the power of community.
