The Co-op has a long history of campaigning for equal rights and was the only retailer to speak in Parliament in support of the Equal Marriage Bill.

The company has also been included in the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index for more than 10 years.

Pride Month is celebrated in commemoration of the Stonewall uprising in New York, 1969. It sparked the first major demonstrations for gay rights.

A year later, to mark the anniversary of the events on June 28, 1970, the first gay pride marches took place in America.

Today. Pride celebrations are held across the world from March until September.
