First Muslim mayor of a major western city led a Pride march today: A class act!

The flags of European nations flew at the annual Pride in London parade, which ended with a rally in Trafalgar Square. London witnessed its first Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan led the Parade. He told the crowd of thousands that Europeans in London are ‘our families and our neighbors’.

Khan says “I recognize the huge contribution you make to our city, you are welcome here. I make you this promise as your mayor. That won’t change.” Voters in London overwhelmingly supported staying in the EU, but a majority outside the capital voted to leave.

Belgian Georges Peters, who was flying his country’s flag at the parade, said he was “very disappointed about the vote. I think this is bad for the economy and it’s important that we stand together.” Antaine O’Briain from Ireland said he was “shocked and horrified” at the result of the Thursday’s result.
