The Mayor of Liverpool is set to raise a new Pride flag later this year to show the city’s intolerance of hate crimes.
Mayor Joanne Anderson will open an event at Liverpool Parish Church by raising a new progress pride flag, which will incorporate colours and symbols representative of the Trans and Intersex communities, marginalised people of colour, those living with HIV/AIDS and those who have been lost.
The event, Liverpool Loves You, will see faith and civic leaders come together with Liverpool's LGBT+ community and its allies to celebrate the city region as a safe and welcoming place. Mayor Anderson said: “I want to build a better, safer, more inclusive Liverpool, where people can thrive, with equal access of opportunity and are treated with dignity and respect.
