This year, our festival looks at LGBT role models, both within the community, and the wider world. There are the people who have inspired us, driven us, given us the confidence to stand up and be ourselves and helped us to feel comfortable with who we are.</p><p></p><p>Oxford Pride is very proud to be supported by Unite The Union South East this year, providing both funding and support in organising the festival week. The knowledge and contacts in local businesses Unite have been able to provide to Pride have proven invaluable in the successful planning of Pride this year.</p><p></p><p>OXFORD PRIDE 30th May - 8th June 2014</p><p>Festival: Friday May 30th - Sunday June 8th 2014 Launch: Friday May 30th 2014</p><p>Parade & Fair Day Event: Saturday 7th June 2014</p><p> </p>
