FAQ's

Got a question? Check here to see if we have an answer!

Are you affiliated with the Labour Party?

No - Pride in Labour is not affiliated with the Labour Party. We primarily work within the party at a local level, but we have no association with the party officially. What this means is that we act independently, advocate for our members priorities, and are free to hold the party to account when necessary.
How are you different to LGBT+ Labour?

LGBT+ Labour is the official LGBTQIA+ affiliate of the Labour Party. Pride in Labour is independent, allowing us to be more critical of the party and grassroots-led, with a stronger focus on accountability and activism.
Do you support or campaign for specific Labour candidates?

We may choose to endorse or support candidates who strongly align with our values, especially those with a track record of standing up for LGBTQIA+ rights. So far, however, we have not endorsed any candidate and we will only ever do this in consultation with our membership base. If you are an LGBTQIA+ candidate and would like some support campaigning, click here to contact us.
Where do you operate?

We do not have a specific base of operations. Our membership base and Executive Committee is spread out across the United Kingdom. When we host events, we will always try to make these accessible, including by offering hybrid options.
How are you funded?

We are funded by donations, member contributions, and occasional fundraising events. We do not receive money from the Labour Party.
Are you anti-Labour or trying to split the party?

Not at all. We want to see Labour succeed - but we believe it can only succeed if it has a firm commitment to LGBTQIA+ rights, justice, and inclusion. Where the party fails on this things, we will hold them accountable.
What’s your stance on recent Labour policies affecting LGBTQ+ people?

We believe recent positions taken by the party leadership have not lived up to the values of equality and solidarity. We speak out when necessary and push from change within. We believe there is an issue with transphobia within the party and we will continue speaking out on these issues.
Are you trans-inclusive?

Absolutely. Trans liberation is central to the work that we do. We oppose all forms of transphobia, including those that may be tolerated or ignored in political spaces.
