Bristol Pride 2022
2022 saw the return of Bristol Pride after a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pride march started in Castle Park in the city centre, and proceeded via Broadmead and Baldwin Street towards the harbourside. The parade was led by the Lord Mayor of Bristol Councillor Paula O’Rourke, Daryn Carter the Director of Bristol Pride, and Trans Pride South West.

A protest sign saying 'ask me how to HRT without GIC' alluding to the fact that many trans people don't have access to healthcare, or have to wait years, at Gender Identity Clinics.

'Black trans lives matter', 'protect trans youth' and 'a life lived in fear is a life half lived' - a main theme of Bristol Pride 2022 was supporting trans rights. Trans Pride South West led the march.
