Pride is a time of celebration AND a time of protest. With all that's going on in the world right now - a pandemic, the vital #BlackLivesMatter movement and the 4th anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shootings - solidarity has never been more important. So let's celebrate the hope in every colour of the rainbow ๐ and remember those who have gone before so that we can build a better future for all of us! Happy Pride from the @Barberfellas! โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐๐ค #Pride ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ #PrideNotCancelled

Social distancing can't stop us from celebrating #Pride - we'll just do it in a different way! Join the @Barberfellas as we wave our rainbow flags for #PrideInTowerHamlets as the party moves on line. Join us for events starting with a literary evening for LBT women of colour, and culminating in a Pride Party on 10 July where we'll be performing. And you'll be supporting our charity partner ELOP - LGBT Mental Health and Wellbeing too! More details here, and happy Pride! โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐๐ค #PrideNotCancelled #Courage #Community

You can help! ELOP - LGBT Mental Health and Wellbeing - the Barberfellas' charity partner this year - has been providing the LGBTQ+ community with 'pay what you can afford', accessible and lifesaving mental health support and counselling for 25 years. The need for the vital services ELOP provides continues to increase, while lockdown has made providing those services increasingly difficult. For many LGBTQ+ people, COVID-19 and the related safety measures have turned life upside down. Social isolation, separation from loved ones and support systems, being trapped with LGBTphobic family members, increased health anxiety, financial uncertainty and the inability to access specialist services are now a reality. Please do support the amazing work they are doing, and even if we can't physically get together, it doesn't mean we can't stand by them in spirit. So stay tuned! https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/elop-covid19

With today's message that @balticpride 2020 has been cancelled, it is with a heavy heart that we announce that our forthcoming performances in Helsinki and Tallinn with our friends @out_n_loud and @vikerlased have been postponed. Stay tuned though, because we are in negotiations to perform there this autumn! In the mean time, all our love to the choirs there, and massive respect to the organizers of Pride in what can be a very challenging environment. We will march another day! #coronavirus #balticstateofmind #barberfellas

London. Day 2 of trying to avoid unnecessary social contact and we replaced our usual rehearsal with an on-line chat! Hope everyone is staying well wherever you are. We will get through this together! #coronavirus #socialdistancing #selfisolation
