This will be the club’s fifth year supporting Liverpool Pride, which was first established in 2010 in memory of the murdered gay teenager Michael Causer. Michael tragically lost his life in 2008 and the festival was created in his memory and to celebrate the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) communities.
This year’s Liverpool Pride will take place on July 29 and 30 promoting the theme of International Love – to celebrate LGBT lives around the world and highlight the places where it's still illegal to be LGBT.
As part of Liverpool Pride’s ‘Come Out of the Shadows’ initiative, Anfield’s famous Kop will join many iconic buildings across the city in being lit up each night in the colours of the rainbow flag from July 22 - July 30.
