On Saturday (10 June), residents gathered on Batt Close, part of the Rochberie Heights development in #Rugby, to march just 80 metres along their street. The #parade was joined by local #dragqueen, @RubellaVaxineDrag – known as Miss Ruby V – who led the neighbours in their march. Residents #BenGoodwin and his partner, #BenPorcel, who launched the event four years ago, said they started it along with residents who “wanted to show solidarity with the wider #LGBTQpluscommunity, particularly those who can’t celebrate as freely as we can”. Goodwin told PinkNews that 80 people attended the event this year, doubling last year’s turnout. “It was our biggest Batt Close #Pride yet. Everyone on the road turned up in their rainbow finest and we were joined by lots of #allies from neighbouring streets,” he said. “From the #bunting across the street to the rainbow-themed buffet, everyone came together to make it a success and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect.” Read the full story via the link in bio 🔗 #queernews #prideforall #pridemonth #lgbtqnews #queertok #uknews #lgbtqrightsarehumanrights
