Wembley Park Pride Highlights
● London Trans Choir: Led by musician and voice coach Stephen Davidson, the UK's first choir of its kind, will present a performance highlighting themes of acceptance and identity, crucial to this year's event.

● Asifa Lahore: Britain’s first out Muslim drag queen, Asifa challenges the boundaries of what it means to be LGBTQ+, South Asian, and Muslim. She gained national attention in 2014 when she was censored from discussing Islam and homosexuality on BBC Free Speech by the Birmingham Central Mosque, sparking significant media discussion. Asifa also featured in the groundbreaking 2015 Channel 4 documentary, Muslim Drag Queens.
