Meet LGBT+ role model: Dave

It's LGBT+ History Month and TSSA is excited to launch the first in a new series of TSSA LGBT+ role model posters. Take a look here!

Role model posters are a key element in TSSA’s Inclusive Rail campaign which aims to make the railway inclusive of LGBT+ people by 2025. The new series of posters follow on the heels of the hugely successful first set, which are displayed in many transport workplaces across the UK.

The 2021 posters all feature a ‘Proud’ side about TSSA members’ connection to the union as an LGBT+ person, and they feature a ‘Challenge’ side to challenge stereotypes about LGBT+ people.

First to be released in the new series is a poster featuring TSSA Equality Rep and LGBT+ role model, Dave. Dave works for train operator Southeastern and he challenges the “stereotypes of a gay man” alongside his pride for the TSSA’s campaigning on LGBT+ rights and partnership with Stonewall.
