The pandemic has put a full stop to a lot of in-person activities and events, including Pride events, but the UK Army is not one to care about roadblocks. They are in the process of executing a full schedule of virtual events that LGBT+ folks, including men and women in uniform, can connect with in celebration.

The list of digital events and activities planned includes things that anyone can become a part of. For starters, the army is participating in the MyGwork Work Pride 2020, an international digital conference.

According to the official Army MOD website: “The event will include a keynote speech from Major General Bell CBE, Director Project CASTLE, and contributions to panel discussions including Major Chantelle Millar on the Women in The Workplace panel.”  

The conference wasn’t the only thing, however. There are plenty of other digital activities planned as well. 

If you have questions that you would like to ask soldiers directly then make sure you are following the British Army on Instagram. Some members will be taking over tomorrow i.e. Friday, June 26, to talk about their lives and experiences.

There is also a string of webinars and online events planned through June and July, so if you want to connect with the LGBT+ community that’s a part of our armed forces, make sure to check these sessions out.
