BAE systems to have bloc at London Pride despite role in arming homophobic regimes
Pride flags hang above London's Regent Street ahead of today's parade

WEAPONS giant BAE Systems will have a bloc representing it at London Pride today, despite its role in arming some of the world’s most homophobic regimes, peace campaigners have revealed.

LGBT+ members of the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) argued that the parade organisers are insulting the community with their inclusion of BAE Systems while it continues to arm countries such as Saudi Arabia that “routinely” imprison, torture and murder LGBT+ people.

The bloc will technically represent Outlink, a group of LGBT+ staff at BAE, the PPU said.
