How important is it to you to have a broad representation of everyone on your programme?When I had a vision in my head of what I wanted the show to be, it was about a place where everyone is equal, like whether you’re a superstar celeb, or you’re somebody who’s sat in the studio watching the show – your opinion, your background, your voice is just as important as anyone else’s.I think we can all learn from each other.

A notion that everyone has a place there which is right for them and, in celebration, the community comes together to try and ensure every single one of us feels validated and supported wherever we find ourselves?There is much progress still to be made and many voices which still fear they won’t be heard; I hope that the growing openness of discussion, a snippet of which you will find here today, will help close that gap and inspire not just those celebrating this month, but those who will one day be able to celebrate in the future.This year marks 50 years of Pride, so it seems only fitting that Metro.co.uk goes above and beyond in our ongoing LGBTQ+ support, through a wealth of content that not only celebrates all things Pride, but also share stories, take time to reflect and raises awareness

confused by the array of different terms, or aren’t sure how to identify someone you know.Rather than worrying about it, however, we’ve got a handy guide for you.Here’s what each letter of the LGBTQ+ initialism stands for, as the UK marks 50 years of Pride.L – This letter stands for lesbian, which refers to women who are attracted to women. Lesbian can sometimes be written as wlw, which means women who love women or woman-loving-woman.G – The G refers to gay, which can either mean men attracted to men, or refer to anyone who identifies as a homosexual.

By Renee Lou Dallow“God was in his heaven, and there were sausages for breakfast.”Terence Davies’ new film, Benediction, is about the life, loves and the poetry of queer World War 1 British poet Siegfried Sassoon.In the film, he is asked by a military tribunal if he is pro-German, to which Siegfried played by Jack Lowden replies,  “I’m pro-human.” Sassoon, a decorated war hero who became disillusioned with the endless conflict and casualties, was anti-war and spoke out against the powers of the day failing to state conditions for peace.The film then moves to another conflict – his life and struggles with his homosexuality. A long passionate affair with actor Ivor Novello (Jeremy Irvine) and a somewhat more sensitive and empathetic relationship with Stephen Tennant (Calm Lynch) follow before Sassoon marries Hester Gatty (Kate Phillips) and has a son, George (Richard Goulding).

Pop superstar Britney Spears has tied the knot with her longtime partner Sam Asghari.

Manchester, on Wednesday.When she went to use the bathroom, she chose the one labelled ‘inclusive’ with a sign depicting a male, a female and a mix of the two.She claims to have walked in on a man using a urinal, who she would have had to pass to get to a cubicle.Sarahjane, who researches patient safety at Staffordshire University, later tweeted about her bathroom experience saying: ‘This is not an example of inclusively! And is wholly unacceptable.’More than 1,000 people have since commented on the post, with one commentator calling it ‘insane’ and another writing: ‘Funny how this inclusion always excludes women’.The museum has since confirmed it accidentally labelled this gender-neutral toilet as ‘inclusive’ when it was supposed to be just for men.While the museum does indeed offer gender-neutral facilities, these bathrooms are typically made up of cubicles for privacy – and no urinals.But workers had to ‘adapt the space’ used for the HRA event and a male bathroom was incorrectly labelled as gender-neutral, a spokesperson said. The HRA said it has apologised to Sarahjane ‘for the distress caused’ and explained that it had requested for the museum to be made ‘inclusive of all genders’.A spokesperson for the public body said: ‘The signs were replaced as soon as we became aware of the issue.

Love Island bosses branded LGBTQ+ people a ‘logistical difficulty’, suggesting a series with queer couples would not be possible. Sadly, watching the contestants this year isn’t giving me much hope that overall attitudes towards lesbian relationships are changing,either. From what I’ve seen so far, it seems that the boys in the villa in this series are also incapable of wrapping their heads around female-female relationships.During the first episode on Monday, when the islanders were playing a game and getting to know each other, Amber was asked to deliver a chat-up line to the girl she fancied the most, before a visibly shocked Luca quickly told her she ‘can’t do that.’Of course, she could, and the realisation seemed to hit him like a tonne of bricks when it registered that she didn’t only have to be attracted to him.It didn’t stop there as, in the following episode, Paige revealed that she had kissed 10 girls in one night – good for her!However, once alone, the boys couldn’t wait to gossip in disbelief that, not only might she have had more action than them on a night out, but that it wasn’t with a man.The most soul-shattering comment though, came when Luca said Paige should ‘send the pictures’.Women-loving-women are not your porn – women can kiss and fancy other women without seeking gratification from straight menI would like to say two things to this year’s boys. Firstly, bisexuality exists and you don’t need to be involved somehow.
