June is ‘Pride’ month when gay members of the community, and their lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other sexual orientation colleagues come together to celebrate who they are.
Pride meets the loggerheads in this rainbow logo – used by gay fans of Shrewsbury Town to denote their group, which they call the Proud Salopians Fans (founded 2019).
The group’s name is a clever play on words, as it brings together the ancient phrase ‘the Proud Salopian’ and the idea of Gay Pride.
PS If you're confused by the date 1886, that is the date the club was founded, not the group!
