Welcome to the Matalan People Podcast, celebrating the everyday heroes who make Matalan what it is.
This episode is brought to you by the Proud Colleague Network.
Today, we’re diving into a powerful conversation about Pride—where it began, what it stands for, and why it remains so important. From the history of the Stonewall riots to the realities faced by LGBTQ+ communities today, our colleagues share honest reflections on protest, celebration, visibility, and the work still to be done.
Join us as we explore what Pride truly means, past and present, and how we can all play a part in creating a more inclusive future.
