Rainbow tie worn by Mark Drakeford at various Pride, and LGBTQ+ related events, when he served as First Minister of Wales and Leader of Welsh Labour from 2018 to 2024. This tie became symbolic of his allyship to the LGBTQ+ community, and amongst others he can be seen in photographs wearing this at Pride Cymru in 2019, and Swansea Pride in 2023.
Under Mark Drakeford’s government we saw the launch of the LGBTQ+ Action Plan aiming to make Wales one the safest places in the world for LGBTQ+ people.
