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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.”  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week the Army celebrates Pride 2020 with a full schedule of virtual events for LGBT+ soldiers and allies to celebrate, connect with each other and be visible. https:\/\/t.co\/0A08Zie9cs<\/a> #PrideMonth<\/a> #Pride2020<\/a> #WorkPride2020<\/a> #ArmedForcesWeek<\/a> @ArmyLGBT<\/a> @stonewalluk<\/a> @myGwork<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/LN7xuJe5gS<\/a><\/p>— British Army (@BritishArmy) June 22, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
