South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue revealed that it had received “a load of abuse when we added the rainbow flag to our profile picture” to show solidarity during LGBT+ History Month last February.
It responded on Wednesday by launching a video for LGBT+ History Month starring several firefighters reading out the messages the force had received.
Last year we got a load of abuse when we added the rainbow flag to our profile picture.
We don't think homophobic abuse is acceptable and we stand with all those LGBT+ people we serve and employ 🏳️🌈
