London Trans Pride
London Trans+ Pride is a pride march advocating transgender rights held in London, England, United Kingdom. History Trans Pride London was founded in 2019 by Lucia Blayke and led by a collective group of trans+ people.

It also included a memorial to Elie Che, a prominent transgender London activist and performer who died in August of that year. The 2021 march was held in June, and included ca ...

Pride Parades In England
Pride is defined by Merriam-Webster as "reasonable self-esteem" or "confidence and satisfaction in oneself". A healthy amount of pride is good, however, pride sometimes is used interchangeably with "conceit" or "arrogance" (among other words) which are negative. Oxford defines it as "the quality of having an excessively high opinion of oneself or one's own importance." This may be related to one's own abilities or achievements, positive characteristics of friends or family, or one's country. Richard Taylor defined pride as "the justified love of oneself", as opposed to false pride or narcissism. Similarly, St. Augustine defined it as "the love of one's own excellence", and Meher Baba called it "the specific feeling through which egoism manifests." Philosophers and social psychologists have noted that pride is a complex secondary emotion which requires the development of a sense of self and the mastery of relevant conceptual distinctions (e.g. that pride is distinct from hap ...
