Friends or Foes? LGBTQ+ Communities and the Communications Industry

LGBT+ Communities and the Communications Industry since Stonewall - REGISTER

As Pride month gets fully under way, Havas Pride invites you to join us for our panel discussion on the changing LGBT+ narrative in mass communications in the 50 years since the Stonewall riots. It will also include discussion on the roles and responsibilities which the communications industry has and continues to have on LGBT+ perceptions and liberties. You’ll hear from our distinguished panellists on their thoughts and have your chance to discuss this with professionals from across communications, media, public sector and professional services sectors.

We’ll also be fundraising for the LGBT Foundation. The LGBT Foundation provide a wide range of support services to lesbian, gay, bi and trans people. They also work with healthcare and other professionals to help make public services more accessible and inclusive for LGBT communities.

David MacMillan, Managing Director, Havas Helia

Rachel Reese, CEO Global Butterflies and Vice Chair of the Law Society's LGBT Lawyers Division Committee

Emma Stephenson, Campaigns Assistant at the House of Commons and Co-chair at ParliOut
