Thank YOU for helping us make #LVW26 our biggest celebration yet! 🌈
In these trying times for LGBTQIA+ people globally, #LVW26 offered a space for reflection, regrouping and collective action.
Taking place between 20–26 April, the week was observed around the world, helping to amplify the voices of our community everywhere from the House of Commons to the dancefloor.
It’s been one week since our DIVA Charitable Trust Gala and Awards - we miss it already! 🌈
The evening was a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ trailblazers and allies who are making waves in our community.
We also saw some incredible performances from @horsemcd , @heatherpeaceofficial and @sanssoucismusic 🤩
Lesbian Visibility Week (20-26 April) is about more than just celebration. It’s about driving real, meaningful change that will benefit our community.
To observe #LVW26, we made sure that calling for tangible, inclusive changes in institutions was at the forefront of our mission.
This is a sentiment that @divacharitabletrust will hold during Lesbian Visibility Week, and every week 🌈
