## Resource

Emergency services are divided over Pride marches after a High Court ruling sparked controversy, with police in the north-east banned from marching — prompting some forces like Merseyside and West Midlands to bar uniformed staff, citing impartiality. But East Midlands Ambulance Service is taking a bold stand, welcoming staff participation through their LGBT+ network — as long as it’s logistically sound. Meanwhile, the mayor of West Midlands pushes back, calling Pride attendance non-political, while ambulance chiefs clarify the ruling doesn’t apply to them — leaving the debate simmering across the UK.
