-- TOYA DELAZY ON QUEER FAMILY In another Instagram post, Toya Delazy said she was grateful to attend the El Dorado Festival in Herefordshire with her family. Delazy was one of many acts who took the stage at the four-day festival that kicked off on 30 June.
I always search hungrily for family faces in the crowd, now I have them, everyone deserves that typa joy.

Happy Pride Protect the queer members of your family because it starts and ends with family ubuntu teaches us respect is mutual and that connects us with [the] diverse ecosystem we live.
This is my life, wife, my best friend and the mother of my child. I am grateful to have them. It's changed my whole life, wrote the singer.

-- HEARTSTOPPER' CAST DANCES IN FRONT OF ANTI-LGBT PROTESTERS The cast of Netflix's LGBTQI show Heartstopper was also at London Pride and they did not let anti-LGBTQI protestors steal their joy.
In a video posted by UK journalist Scott Beasley on Twitter, Sebastian Croft and Joe Locke, who have lead roles in Heartstopper, danced to Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody and flashed their middle fingers at the protestors.
