Weymouth’s first Pub Pride
Glorious sunshine welcomed everyone to The Waterloo Pub and its fabulously decorated garden with rainbow flags.
Nationally Pub Pride is run by "Ask for Clive" an inclusive project promoting acceptance and safety for LGBT+ people in UK pubs, and is a way of welcoming in Pride month – June. This was the first time it had taken place in Weymouth.

A variety of stalls were present including some wonderful craft stalls. One of which, run by The Bridport LGBT Group girls, had a great display of Pyrography (the art of decorating wood with burn marks). They also had a range of rainbow & LGBT goodies including mugs for sale.
Weymouth Gay Group had an information stall with lots of leaflets, and photos showing our pub meet ups, and it was great to network with everyone attending.
The BBQ proved to be very popular, with the local Gulls looking on!

Meanwhile inside the karaoke entertained many, while the drinks were flowing late into the night!

Let’s raise a glass and say …
A huge thank you to Dawn & Joe, Managers plus staff at The Waterloo Pub for hosting Pub Pride, Steve aka Sequined Sherrill (pub regular) for all his/her enthusiasm and organisation. Also to all the LGBT people and Allies who attended, and special thanks to all the pub regulars who joined in all the fun having their faces painted in rainbows! Mike from WGG said :- I thought it was a bloody great evening!! Next time I'll book the day off! |

The only negative aspect to the day was the report (not connected to Pub Pride) in The Dorset Echo (see our news page here -https://weymouthgaygroup.weebly.com/lgbt-news-weymouth-dorset-2022.html ) of a hate crime incident on Weymouth's esplanade. This just served to remind everyone why PRIDE is still so important in all its formats.
More pics to follow soon! If you went along, and have pics to share, please do send them in to us at weymouthgaygroup@gmail.com Thanks!
