It shouldn’t be only in London. Why should the rest of us have to go to that cess-pit to have a pride event?

Does he? Please enlighten me on this valid point.

His Point was the USA's current political
influence

And the lack of full funding

Big Companies are pulling out of backing it.

Ali was also saying
they have the Law now
Do they need to bang their drum in our face

USAID cash pulled??

You're not keen on many women, as far as I can see. Only the perfectly beautiful airbrushed ones.

[Wakefield Pride has had to cancel its planned
march this year, according to
the Wakefield Express.

The cancellation is due to the decision by
West Yorkshire Police to deem the planned
march route unsafe,
particularly in the event of a serious incident
at the Ridings Shopping Centre,
which has high visitor numbers
on Sundays.
The march was originally planned for
Sunday, August 3rd, alongside the main
event at Thornes Park]



Yes LT
Police know what is best

More than 85 Pride organisations say they've seen a reduction in corporate
sponsorships or partnerships, according to a questionnaire by the UK Pride
Organisers Network (UKPON), which said it represents the majority of UK Pride
events.

Some celebrations have already been cancelled or postponed, while others are
scaling back plans or charging for tickets to what have previously been free-to-
attend events (who would pay to watch?).

Big Business is pulling up the free money tree by the roots

August?! Pride month is meant to be June, why drag it on so much?

(Apart from the financial incentives and giving Professional Gays the opportunity to go to multiple events)

Genuinely… how does it affect you? Whats the issue?

Love her. She’s funny and unserious

It doesn't, but I'm allowed to cringe at things which don't affect me.

Are you not gay yourself? I thought you’d like that the pride wasn’t cancelled but postponed

Yeah, just seems a weird thing to cringe about that’s all. Particularly as a gay man, but you do you.

I think I remember you saying you have never gone to pride so maybe that’s why! It’s just a bit of fun. :)

I don't have strong feelings on Pride either way.

I guess if people want to go then I'm happy that they're happy?

I'm fine with it being a bit of fun, I just question its need in the modern west is all, I spose. Especially as it (demonstrably!) has become more about making money for the organisers, than keeping any pretence of a protest.

If big business is backing off, maybe it just proves the support was never genuine. And “who would pay to watch?” Well, definitely not the usual homophobes who’ve always hated it anyway. Shock horror, Pride isn’t for you. it’s for people who celebrate identity, not those who fear anything LGBTQ+ because it threatens their weird little idea of normal.

Looks like a cross between Esther Rantzen and Janet Street Porter. Maybe even throw Red Rum in there.
