What the colours on the new progress pride being raised by the Mayor mean

The Mayor of Liverpool is set to raise a new pride flag this weekend to show the city’s intolerance of hate crimes.

Mayor Joanne Anderson will open the Liverpool Loves You event, being held at Liverpool Parish Church, by raising a new progress pride flag, which will incorporate colours and symbols representative of the whole LGBTQIA+ acronym. The event 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 previously told the ECHO she wanted to “build a better, safer, more inclusive Liverpool, where people can thrive with equal access to opportunity and are treated with dignity and respect.”
