TSSA and Pride

Pride in our members

About

Pride season – a time to celebrate, reflect, and stand together.

At TSSA, we proudly support our LGBTQ+ members and their right to celebrate Pride in the way that’s most meaningful to them – whether that’s through joyful expression, powerful protest, or quiet reflection.

Recent reports show that the UK has fallen in international rankings for LGBTQ+ rights, with growing concerns about equality, safety, and representation. At TSSA, we know it’s vital to stand in solidarity with LGBTQ+ workers across the transport and travel industries, not just during Pride, but every day of the year.

Pride Is Personal and Political

Pride is not just a party. It’s a statement. A stand. A celebration of identity and a demand for justice. As a union, we honour the roots of Pride in protest and continue to push for progress in our workplaces, our communities, and across society.

Your Pride, Your Voice

TSSA believes in the freedom of all members to express themselves authentically. We support every member’s right to participate in Pride in the way that reflects their truth, whether that’s marching, organising, educating, or simply being visible.
