When the Pride flag was raised at RNLI Skegness Lifeboat Station for the first time, it was a powerful moment for Brad Johnson
In an area where the Pride flag might not be flown as much as in a city location, Brad Johnson was keen to fly the flag to raise awareness of inclusion, equality and diversity and reach out to the LGBTQI+ community. It was something enthusiastically supported by fellow crew members.
Brad talks about how, from day one, he was open about his sexuality and warmly welcomed to the station by a team he thinks of as a family unit. Brad explains how flying the Pride flag made an important statement – as one of the oldest organisations in Skegness, the RNLI is leading the way in celebrating difference and all its people, no matter who they are.
