Baroness Verma, International Development Minister, said:
It is unacceptable that in nearly 80 countries LGB&T people are prevented from living the life they바카라 사이트™d choose because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
That바카라 사이트™s why today we are proudly flying the rainbow flag to celebrate DFID바카라 사이트™s work to protect the rights and dignity of all people. We are honoured to be part of London Pride 2016.
Simon McNorton, DFID staff member taking part in the Pride Parade, said:
Showing solidarity with my community by marching in London바카라 사이트™s Pride Parade is important to me - it바카라 사이트™s a real opportunity to be unashamedly myself right in the heart of London. So many other people are denied that freedom.
That is why I am proud to be part of the team delivering DFID바카라 사이트™s pivotal work on Leave No One Behind, which ensures people across the world have the chance to participate in society whatever their situation.
