Often the only Christians you see at London Pride are the ones waving anti-LGBT placards and generally being very negative. In 2010, a group of us thought it would be great if we could get as many LGBT Christians and their friends as possible to march together and make a positive statement to the LGBT Community. A statement that says that God loves LGBT people too, and that we're proud to be Christian and LGBT.

On July 3rd over 120 people, resplendent in their purple t-shirts, marched together through central London, meeting with a very positive response. Following that, around 150 people came to a post-Pride service at St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Thanks to everyone for ordering T-shirts, coming along, staffing the stall, enduring the heat, and making a massively positive statement to the LGBT community and London at large, that Christianity is for everyone.

There is a brilliant write up of the day over at the Ekklesia website - http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/12538

There's also reactions and photos over at the Christians at Pride Facebook group.

At the time of the Pope's visit, Christians Together at Pride will support our Roman Catholic members in a silent vigil. This is intended to show our support for LGBT Roman Catholics and to proclaim the message that God loves us as LGBT Christians. While our members have very differing views on the Pope, as an organisation we wish to be a positive, affirming Christian presence. Anyone wearing the Christian and Proud t-shirt, complete with rainbow ribbon, will be doing so in solidarity with our Roman Catholic members. Pope's visit: 18-19 September.
