TUC LGBT Conference: Trade unions stand with Pulse victims
Delegates hold silence and call for normalising of LGBT love

TRADE unionists showed their solidarity with the Orlando victims yesterday as LGBT members organised resistance to homophobia, racism and terrorism.

This year’s TUC LGBT Conference is under special security measures following the massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Florida, US.

Delegates to the conference in central London opened the two-day event with a minute’s silence and an emergency motion on the shooting.
