Who now gives so many hidden voices an opportunity to be heard. So, what does Welsh Pride mean to me and why is it so important. It’s a rainbow cwtch of comfort, belonging and also fierceness. A welsh mam, protecting their offspring. Andrew White Director of Wales, It seems so strange, looking back to think why in Wales we waited so long to have a LGBT+ National Lottery Heritage Fund project to look at Welsh Pride, but that’s because we now see LGBT+ history so widely We were delighted to fund the Welsh Pride discussed and celebrated. We only have to go project in 2012 to focus on the cultural heritage back briefly in time to see that was not always of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender the case. people in Wales over the previous 100 years. It began chart the often invisible history of If we were to stop someone in the street and LGBT communities in Wales by exploring the ask them to name an LGBT+ Icon, who would social, political and personal aspects of what they come up with?

Thinking back to my own upbringing, as a gay Then ask them to identify a Welsh Icon, it teenager I could scarcely believe that there becomes even harder. We are not taught our were other lesbian gay, bi or trans people in history. I’m always surprised by the amount Wales, let alone that people like us had been of people who have never heard of Stonewall, around throughout our nation’s long and section 28 or that it wasn’t until 1992 that the inspiring history. People like us were not World Health Organisation declassified same- confined to certain towns or cities, classes or sex attraction as a mental illness. It amazes professions. Often persecuted, sometimes me that LGBT+ people don’t know the events celebrated, we were always part of Welsh or names of the people who sacrificed their history and continue to be so. dignity, authentic lives, so we can have the freedoms we have today. It’s wonderful to see the updated timeline launched this LGBT+ History Month. Knowing It was just less than a decade ago, that Wales our history is vital to understanding our received funding for the first time to look at present and to informing our future.

So easily we can forget the struggles that our LGBT+ family have fought to give us the rights we have now. Welsh heritage is so often overlooked, hidden under the banner of Britishness, but the Welsh have a unique voice and needs to be known and represented. Historically as a nation it has been conquered and subjugated by English law and moral persecution, but it has also led the way too. Welsh Pride for me is a celebration of perseverance, solidarity and a need to get our stories heard. The project and exhibition gave a platform for the stories of people who made a difference, who both quietly lived their truth but also banged the drum for the rights of others. Whether LGBT+ or Ally, the Welsh have and will continue to leave its mark on the world and as a proud member the charity that led the project that opened the doors for others. I will always be full of Welsh Pride. It seems so strange, looking back to think why in Wales we waited so long to have a LGBT+ project to look at Welsh Pride, but that’s because we now see LGBT+ history so widely discussed and celebrated. WELSH PRIDE | 5 Susan Edwards Former senior curator of Glamorgan Archives Welsh Pride - celebrating LGBT heritage in Wales - was launched at the Senedd at the start of February (LGBT history month) 2011. Alongside the launch, the National Lottery Heritage Fund awarded a grant for a project to research the history of LGBT people in Wales and celebrate their contribution to the nation’s culture and heritage. It was my great privilege to represent archive services on the project board together with heritage partners including National Museums Wales. The project produced an exhibition and the research undertaken fed into the development of new galleries at the National History Museum in St Fagans. The timeline presented here is another output from the project with a continued relevance today. The history and existence of LGBT people in Wales has been overlooked and hidden for so long that every generation can feel like the first of its kind: the “coming out” which is so much a part of each individual’s story could be extended to the entire community. Welsh scholars are working to rectify this and there has been a recent and welcome production of popular histories on the subject. The more knowledgeable we are about our past the more confidence we can have in demanding our present rights and the better we can build for the future. Welsh Pride was intended to raise awareness of the long term existence of LGBT people in Wales, explore the issues they continue to face and challenge discrimination. Reaching into the past to celebrate the achievements of our predecessors is an excellent contribution to greater understanding and the research deserves to be better known and better used.

  • Written Council Questions
    COUNCIL, 28 SEPTEMBER 2017 : WRITTEN QUESTIONS CHAIR OF PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE (COUNCILLOR JACKIE PARRY) W1 WRITTEN QUESTION FROM COUNTY COUNCILLOR DE’ATH A cross-party group of MPs are lobbying Transport for London to ban the company Uber from the UK capital. The MPs allege Uber is endangering the public, pointing to claims that the firm's drivers carry out a sexual assault every 11 days. The Metropolitan Police have also accused the taxi firm of not reporting all alleged sexual assaults by drivers on passengers. The MPs also argue that the company mistreats its workers, paying them as little as £2 per hour and accuse Uber of not paying VAT on its rides, allegedly escaping £40million in taxes. In a letter on behalf of the group of MPs sent to the head of Transport for London calling for Uber’s operating license not to be extended, Ilford North MP Wes Streeting said: "The safety of Londoners must be at the forefront of decisions taken about the taxi and private hire industry in our capital city. We do not believe that Uber has shown itself to be a fit and proper operator." In light of these developments, what is Cardiff Council’s position on the desirability of Uber operating in the Welsh capital and is the authority considering lobbying to have Uber’s operating license discontinued here? Reply Uber Britannia Ltd was issued with a private hire operator licence by the Council in September 2016 and the current licence remains in force for a maximum of five years. In issuing any operator licence, the Council has to be satisfied that the applicant is fit and proper to hold the licence.

  • Religion, the Rule of Law and Discrimination Transcript
    Religion, the Rule of Law and Discrimination Transcript Date: Thursday, 26 June 2014 - 6:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 26 June 2014 Religion, the Rule of Law and Discrimination The Rt Hon. Sir Terence Etherton Chancellor of the High Court of England and Wales 1. One of the most difficult and contentious areas of our law today is the resolution of disputes generated by a conflict between, on the one hand, the religious beliefs of an individual and, on the other hand, actions which that individual is required to take, whether that requirement is by a public body, a private employer or another individual. The problem is particularly acute where the conflict is directly or indirectly between one individual’s religious beliefs and another’s non-religious human rights.[1] 2. It is a subject that affects many countries as they have become more liberal, multicultural and secular.[2] The issues in countries which are members of the Council of Europe and of the European Union, like England and Wales, are affected by European jurisprudence as well as national law. The development of the law in England is of particular interest because the Protestant Church is the established Church of England but the protection for secular and other non-Protestant minorities has progressed at a pace and in a way that would have been beyond the comprehension of most members of society, including judges and politicians, before the Second World War. 3. This subject is large and complex and the law relevant to it is growing at a remarkably fast pace.[3] For the purpose of legal commentary, it falls naturally into two parts: (1) tracing the legal history and reasons for the developments I have mentioned, and (2) analysing the modern jurisprudence.
