Last year's event saw at least 5000 people attend with this year's event expected to attract equal amounts of footfall. Torfaen Pride has been coined one of the most 'accessible' Pride events in Wales. Alongside promoting LGBTQ+ rights there will be lots for people to enjoy.

The event has two stages, a main stage occupied by performers and a smaller more community-based stage which will be used to give local groups a voice. A cowboy style performer at Torfaen Pride 2024 (Image: Jamie Wake) Volunteers at the event will also be tackling isolation. They will be expected to interact with members of the public to ensure they feel included. Speaking of Pride event organiser Jamie Wake 47, said: "We know that when this article is shared online, there will unfortunately be negative comments — questioning why Pride is still needed, calling it 'woke,' or asking why there isn't a 'straight Pride.' 'So let me speak directly to those people: Pride is not about division or superiority — it's about visibility, safety, and equality for a community that has had to fight to be recognised and respected. 'Pride is not about being 'woke' — it's about being seen, safe, and celebrated in a world that hasn't always made space for us. When you say 'woke', we say you're welcome." Torfaen Pride organiser Jamie Wake at Torfaen Pride 2024 (Image: Jamie Wake) He added: "The truth is, Pride exists because LGBT+ people have had to fight — and still do — for the basic rights, acceptance, and dignity that others often take for granted. It's not about special treatment; it's about equal treatment. 'Pride is a chance for our community to stand together, to remember those we've lost, and to celebrate how far we've come. It isn't about excluding anyone — it's about including those who have historically been excluded. 'It's not a celebration of difference for the sake of it, but a reminder that, even today, LGBT+ people face discrimination, isolation, and inequality. Pride exists because we're not there yet. And until we are, it remains not only relevant — but necessary."

EXCLUSIVE Maren Morris celebrates major milestone after coming out and calling out 'toxic' country music community
Maren Morris has celebrated her first-ever Pride since officially coming out as bisexual. In video obtained exclusively by Morris rejoices over the milestone during her performance at Outloud Music Festival last week. 'My name is Maren Morris, and this is my first Pride!' she declares, sparking rapturous cheer from the crowd. Morris, 35, came out as bisexual last June, announcing to Instagram followers that she was 'Happy to be the B in LGBTQ +, happy pride!' On Friday, the country singer was one of the headliners kicking off Pride Month at Outloud Festival, an LGBTQ+ music festival held in the heart of West Hollywood. Morris continued to revel in the moment with behind-the-scenes snaps from her epic show. 'performing at my first Pride since I came out last summer and @wehopride couldn't have been a more welcoming party. happy Pride month,' she captioned the Instagram post, uploaded over the weekend. Fans praised Morris in the comments, with one thanking her for leaving a positive impact on their family. 'Thank you for making my kiddo feel comfortable in their true selves,' one posted. 'I didn't know you came out! Loved you before & love you now even more!' another wrote. 'Welcome to the fam!!' another gushed. Lance Bass chimed in as well: 'Loved it!' he raved. Morris was previously married to fellow country crooner Ryan Hurd, and they share five-year-old son Hayes Andrew Hurd together. The Girl singer recently said she 'always knew' she was attracted to both men and women but held back from ever going public with it. 'I've always known that I am attracted to men and women,' she told The Zoe Report last month. 'I think because I've been in straight relationships the last 15 years of my life, which has been consumed by my music career and living in Nashville, I never felt brave enough to talk about it.' In June 2024, however, she finally overcame that fear. 'That was just a facet of me that I didn't think I wanted private anymore. I wanted to be able to connect with my fans and my queer community,' she said. 'Especially in a time where you're in this free-for-all post-divorce reckoning, community has been so necessary for me and life-saving. Being honest and being vulnerable is the only way that you find community.' Maren's personal revelation comes over a year after she declared she was leaving the 'toxic' world of country music. The Middle singer told the New York Times' Popcast podcast back in September 2023 she felt 'like l have to absorb and explain people's bad behaviors and laugh it off.' Morris recently said she 'always knew' she was attracted to both men and women but held herself back from ever going public with it The hitmaker added, 'I just couldn't do that after 2020 particularly. I've changed. A lot of things changed about me that year.' 'I don't want to say goodbye, but I really cannot participate in the really toxic arms of this institution anymore,' she said. She also told the Los Angeles Times: 'I thought I'd like to burn it to the ground and start over. But it's burning itself down without my help.' But Maren has since clarified she 'never said she was leaving country music' in a recent interview with The Guardian. Maren called the headline of the LA Times article - which was titled 'Maren Morris is getting the hell out of country music: "I've said everything I can say"' - 'really unfortunate.' 'I never said I'm leaving country music, because that's not really how I feel at all,' she calmly told the publication. 'You hear country music on this album. You can't just intentionally take the parts away. There would be nothing left of the sound of me. Because it's just there. It's in my bones and it's in the way I write. She said the article 'caused a ton of unnecessary drama for me from that community because I was already sort of on the outs. I'm not backtracking what I said, I just never said that.' The singer, who has been a Nashville resident for 12 years, added 'it's not going to be some tussle that's going to make me change my address.' Though she moved label divisions, no longer does the country radio circuit, and doesn't submit her music to the Country Music Awards or the Academy of Country Music Awards, the singer still works with all the same people. 'It would be strange to be like: "This music isn't me anymore,"' she explained. 'That makes me feel like I'm shitting on the music I've already put out, and that's not how I feel at all 'The fans that I've made and the communities those fans have made through being a fan of my music is so important to me,' she added, 'so to ever come out of my mouth saying: "I'm leaving you behind" – I'd never be so reckless and stupid.' Regarding her new album Dreamsicle, the singer said: 'If you dive deep enough, or if you just listen to the album, it's very clear that I haven't left anything behind.'

The actress-turned-singer revealed her latest sing on Tuesday, taking to Instagram to make her announcement.

The 26-year-old star had shared a tease video for the tune earlier in the week prior to Tuesday's confirmation. Her latest reveal seemed to be a dig at the actor. She wrote: "This one's about you!! 'Manchild' is out this Thursday 6/5 8pm EST. special 7' vinyl available now." And sharing lyrics from the song, she said: "Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man."

The 17-second clip is silent, with no music heard over the scene. It ends with Sabrina saying "Oh, boy." The upload quickly get fans talking, and many seemed in agreement that the message was aimed at the Irishman. One user wrote: "And we know who you are talking about diva." Another agreed, saying: "Oh barry u are so over." A third added : "DRAG HIM BABE WE CANT WAIT." Following her reveal, a number of billboards have been spotted across different cities in the US. Some of the signs say: 'I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them', 'Amen', Hey men!' and 'Manchild'. The singer is currently in the middle of her tour, 'Short n' Sweet'. Sabrina and Barry were first romantically linked back in 2023. The duo didn't go official until the following year, making their first public appearance at the after party at the Grammy Awards. With things seemingly going well, the Saltburn star even featured in Sabrina's Please, Please, Please song. It's thought the tune was about him too. Their linkup wasn't to last, with their relationship breaking down in December 2024. Reports claimed the duo had decided to call it quits in a bid to focus on their careers. The duo almost had an awkward reunion as they both attended this year's Met Gala in New York. The Espresso hitmaker and the dad-of-one posed together at the event in May last year after being first linked months prior. Three months later it was reported Sabrina and Barry had split up, with the Saltburn actor deactivating his social media accounts and issuing a damning statement as fans speculated he had cheated on his ex.
