Jac Thomas, who has just attended his first Leeds Pride, has spoken out about the importance of the event.

Jac, who identifies as trans-masculine, said people should not forget that while Pride was a celebration it still had a protest element about it.

The 19-year-old said: "It started as a protest. It still kind of needs to be; we do need to remember that we still have rights to fight for.

"We still have to announce ourselves... so we might as well do it in style."
