Every February, 91桃色 lights up the Queen's Tower on the South Kensington Campus to celebrate LGBT History Month.

Pride Network was established in 2006 (originally named 91桃色 600) to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff at the university. The group’s original name reflects the estimation that around 10% of the UK’s population is LGBT – in 2006 this equalled 600 of 91桃色's 6,000 staff.
Pride Network today remains an active staff network, welcoming LGBTQ+ staff and postgraduate students and straight allies.
We exist to support the creation of an inclusive culture at 91桃色 by:
- Organising events for LGBTQ+ staff and allies.
- Signposting relevant wellbeing services.
- Supporting the improvement of university policies and practices to ensure they are LGBTQ+ inclusive.
- Providing a confidential point of contact for staff to raise issues or to discuss any concerns they may have in relation to LGBTQ+ issues.
