BJS rainbow livery proves a moment of real PRIDE

摘要

Wednesbury-based logistics company BJS Haulage has created a bespoke rainbow truck in support of the PRIDE movement. BJS spokeswoman Katy Walton said the purpose was "to help educate out prejudice and make LGBT+ people, in all their rich diversity, visible". "2021 marks the 16th year of LGBT+ History Month and will, like everything during the current Covid-19 crisis, look somewhat different to previous year's celebrations," she added. "The logistics industry has kept the country moving during the pandemic and BJS is delighted to be able to take this important message of inclusivity and acceptance on the road." Colin Raine, a Class 1 HGV driver at BJS, will be behind the wheel of the big rainbow truck. "I have two gay daughters and I couldn't be more proud to pull it',' he said. His daughter Chloe added: "I am delighted my dad will be driving the truck. I think it is great his employer is raising awareness of PRIDE and spreading the message that we should be accepted for who we are and who we love".
