Hence the birth of Pride To Be.</p> <p></p> <p>“We are thrilled to be launching Pride To Be, especially at a time when marriage equality is of great significance. Not only are we able to offer much greater choice to gay and lesbian people, but also for their friends and families who struggle to find that ‘perfect’ greeting card.”</p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4589508701.jpg" width="380" height="134" alt="" title=""/></p> <p>Pride To Be is based in Wigan and the launch range consists of 10 fantastic cards, including Mr & Mr and Mrs & Mrs wedding cards, as well as Boyfriend-Boyfriend birthday cards, and Wife-Wife anniversary cards, all priced at £3.49 including postage.
