The trade union movement represents all working people, regardless of their sex, race, religious belief, sexuality or disability.
The group was set up by gay and lesbian firefighters who are 'out' in the workplace and felt they were in a position to help others within the UK fire service. We have achieved official recognition with the FBU, as well as representing the FBU in forums which were once untouched. We also have an extensive network to support and advise (LGBT) lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual members (firefighters, officers and control staff) who may feel isolated or harassed.
The group is run on a strictly confidential basis and accepts the rules, constitution and democracy of the Fire Brigades Union.
