Speaking to Attitude besides Wellington Arch Travis Alabanza, the writer, said in light of attacks by the UK government on the rights of trans people that “We need to continue to be louder that we’re not going anywhere.”

Their message to trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming youth was: “We’ve always been here, we always will. Continue to find your crew and we make our own rules.”

Dan and Ollie from the BBC’s I Kissed A Boy also said to trans youth: “We have got your back, we are here to support you. We will be here as much as we possibly can. There’s no LGB without the T.”

Ollie agreed in full adding: “It’s important more now so than ever to really get behind and march.”
