💚 Today is Aromantic Visibility Day 💚

Which is all about raising awareness of aromantic (aro) identities and experiences.

~ Aromantic people experience little or no romantic attraction. Aromanticism exists on a spectrum.

🌈 Do you know the difference from Pansexual & Panromantic Awareness Day last month? (24th May)

Understanding helps create a more inclusive and informed community for everyone. So we'll pop the answer in the comments!

~~Say Cheese! 🧀😁~~

It's National Cheese Day and we're smiling for a reason...

🌈 Over 50% of Basingstoke Pride 2026 Parade tickets have already been reserved!

🌈 Today is IDAHOBIT 📆

Held annually on May 17th, it marks the anniversary of the World Health Organisation removing homosexuality from its Classification of Diseases in 1990.

Whilst we’ve made progress, LGBTQIA+ people still face discrimination across the world every day.

This year’s theme “At the heart of democracy”, reminds us that equality and human rights must include everyone.
