UK Prime Minister David Cameron on Saturday called out to the world’s LGBT community to live “freely and openly”. In his first message since he announced his impending resignation outside Downing Street on Friday over Brexit referendum, the British premier hailed the Pride in London event this weekend. It is an annual gay pride celebration of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
Cameron said sadly, many people in the LGBT community feel the need to filter their behaviour, or hide who they are. But Pride says to Londoners, Britain and the world: be yourself. Live freely and openly.
He described the recent attack at a gay nightclub in the US as a “direct attack on the LGBT community. He said we should resolve to never allow this attack, to change who we are or how we go about our lives. He also highlighted the achievements of his government in the form of the Same-Sex Couples Act.
