Love without Borders (major Campaign)
A new and innovative campaign that looks at the rights and plight of LGBT within the Commonwealth
Pride London has launched this campaign officially on 25th November 2009 at the Quebec Bar, 12 Old Quebec Street London; this was fronted by one of Pride London’s patrons Naechanè Romeo who was originally born in Guyana, a Commonwealth country, where being LGBT is still a criminal offence. Peter Tatchell and Stephen K Amos are supporters of this campaign.
The focus of the campaign will be in five stages:
Stage One: Forge links with various LGBT organizations in the following countries- Uganda, Jamaica, Nigeria, Sri Lankha, etc., finding out how we can as a charity support them
Stage Two: Bring the information about the organizations and the plight of LGBT people from within these countries to the an international focus
Stage Three: Developing a strategic plan with assistance from key personnel to be taken up by political supporters and placed before the UK government
Stage Four: Raise funds for this work, with special emphasis in ensuring that the campaign is resourced and active.
Stage Five: To continue to develop this campaign right up to 2012
Several parts of the stages will overlap at times and some of them may develop faster than others due to the communication that needs to be established on an on going basis.

All funds go towards
1. Accurate and up to-date information on the countries
2. Resourcing of the campaigns
3. Publicity for the campaigns
4. Support for the various organizations that are within the Countries outlined
One of the smaller sub campaigns that will be supported and a spin off from “Love without Borders” will be : LGBT Asylum Needs analysis
This is a complementary campaign that supports those who are fleeing persecution from regimes that are oppressive and discriminatory and will focus on placement needs within the UK; for example, housing within LGBT friendly environments, availability of LGBT networks and structures that can feed into their needs. This is hoped to be presented to the Home Office when completed.

Tackling Homophobia and Transphobia
This campaign seeks to eliminate hate crimes against LGBT people and calls for better policing of our community. We want to see stronger laws to deter those who advocate transphobia and homophobia and proper punishment for those who carry out attacks. LGBT people deserve protection.
The campaign was launched on 25 November 2009 at the Quebec Bar, London by Pride London patron Naechanè Romeo. Naechanè was originally born in Guyana, a Commonwealth country where being LGBT is still both socially unacceptable and very much a criminal offence . Other patrons supporting the campaign include Peter Tatchell and Stephen K Amos.
The focus of the campaign will be in five stages:
Stage One: Raise funds for this work, with special emphasis in ensuring that the campaign is resourced and active
Stage Two: Work in partnership with the Met Police to help develop policing strategies for the protection of the LGBT community in London
Stage Three: Forge links with other agencies to monitor and support the work of the police and act as an assessor of the policing strategy for LGBT people in London
Stage Four: Work with the Mayor to develop best-practice guidelines for the Met Police and the Metropolitan Police Authority for the policing of hate crime and the support of LGBT communities

Health and Well-being
Pride London believes that the general health and well-being of LGBT Londoners is an important, but often overlooked issue. This campaign is about more than just sexual health and will focus on healthy living, healthy attitudes and proper access to services and information. Of particular concern is the provision of services and information catering to the needs of Older LGBT people and their health issue.
This campaign will have a number of stages in its passage towards full implementation and the initial first three stages are outlined below
Stage one: Develop and promote and anonymous survey to track the specific health needs of LGBT people, and what provision is currently made (or not made) for them
Stage two: Identify the trends in the survey data and promote this data to NHS Primary Care Trusts to assist in their planning of services
Stage Three: Continue to highlight health issues for LGBT people in London and work with service providers to ensure these are met. In particular Pride London expects to focus on areas such a longevity
