hellooo drama alert nation

lets get rightttttttttt into the news! A local authority is flying the Pride flag as a "visible sign" it supports the LGBT+ community, a councillor has said, after politicians in neighbouring areas stated they would discontinue the practice. Liberal Democrat-led Newcastle City Council raised the rainbow flag outside its headquarters on Thursday to mark Pride Month. The decision comes after Gateshead Council refused to fly the flag outside its offices in a move which mirrored that of their fellow Reform UK-led council in Sunderland. Newcastle Lib Dem councillor Rob Austin said seeing the Pride flag flying created a "sense of belonging" for many people. augh.
