This weekend is the climax of Pride in London's festivities, this year paying tribute to 50 years of activism, celebration and protest that followed the Stonewall Riots in 1969.

To show their support, many brands have adopted a rainbow coloured logo and are proudly flying the flag of LGBT awareness, with even M&S producing a fundraising but not uncontroversial LGBT themed sandwich. That's lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato to fulfil the LGBT acronym.
 

Lewis Silkin have also turned their logo rainbow coloured, flags have gone up outside the building and our social media pages have turned different colours. We have also introduced a new initiative this year – THE PRIDE PLEDGE BOARD which is open for all Lewis Silkin employees to sign up and show their support towards (and that they are an ally of) the LGBTQ+ community. 

The  AdSlogans database is nothing if not inclusive and contains a number of LGBT equality slogans. The overriding theme of these messages is love, acceptance and pride. Indeed, Stonewall, the LGBT rights charity's own slogan is 'Acceptance without exception'.
