Eighteen Years of Pride and Remembrance

Eighteen years after Michael Causer’s tragic murder, Knowsley holds a powerful vigil during Pride to honor his life and stand against hate. What began as a personal tribute has grown into a vital community rallying cry, spotlighting rising LGBTQ+ hate crimes and the urgent need for inclusion. With a 20% surge in hate incidents over five years — and even steeper for trans people — the event underscores why Pride matters more than ever. Officials vow Michael’s legacy will never be forgotten, and the vigil kicks off a week of Pride festivities culminating in a showcase on August 8th — all open to everyone.
