A huge thanks to everyone who came along to our stall to speak to us, sign up for campaign news, or even just grab a badge. Other stall holders included Channel 4 Pride, Switchboard, and the new queer social media site Squad Social. 

We loved speaking on the main stage about why campaigning for a People's Vote is so important for the LGBT+ community, and what the EU has done over the decades for our rights.
