The Mayor of Northampton Councillor Roger Conroy, councillors and representatives from community groups made some noise to raise awareness of International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO)
The event in the Guildhall courtyard was to support all those unable to speak out due to homophobia, transphobia, hate crime and prejudice.
Councillor David Mackintosh, leader of Northampton Borough Council, said: “Nobody should suffer because of their sexual orientation or for any other reason to do with who they are. Hate simply has no place.”
