Employees at Stockport Council, NHS Stockport and partner organisations enjoyed a dress-down day to support IDAHO, the International Day against Homophobia.

Pictured on the marble staircase in Stockport Town Hall are people dressed in the spectrum of colours represented on the IDAHO flag.

Stockport Councillor Stuart Bodsworth, champion for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues said “I am proud that Stockport is flying the flag for an end to homophobic bullying and discrimination…I’d like to thank everybody who showed their support for equality by wearing their rainbow colours.”

Richard Popplewell, Chief Executive of NHS Stockport, and Council Corporate Director, Adults and Health, added “tackling inequalities is a major focus in Stockport, both at the Council and the NHS. Our staff played a key role in showing support for our local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and taking a clear stand against homophobia.”
