LGBT inclusion

Conference notes with concern that the film commissioned by our Union to commemorate our Centenary omitted to have any mention or inclusion of our LGBT Section.

LGBT Members understand and accept that it is difficult to cover all aspects of our Union in a short film capturing aspects of 100 years of our rich and vibrant history. However for many of our Members being LGBT in the fire service and being out remains a taboo. An opportunity to display pride and solidarity with our LGBT Members has been missed.

Conference calls on the Executive Council to ensure that in future any publications and productions that encompass our Union’s equality is inclusive of all three existing equality strands.
