I hope this doesn’t end up like that mismanaged funds BLM fiasco
I think Pride works better as a grassroots movement. Nit some commercial profit mongering.
Brighton Pride are also up to some shady shit.
Once again, a good social movement has been overtaken by people who just want to make cash.
A year ago there were a load of stories about artists pulling out of Manchester Pride because they didn’t like the sponsors, and a campaign to get Manchester Pride [to drop certain sponsors](https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/manchester-pride-must-drop-genocide-profiteers). I wonder how much impact that’s had on this?
It’s hard to try and be a principle-led campaign movement and also keep both corporate sponsors and your audience happy. I suspect we’ll see others having similar issues.
Good riddance; it became a glorified music festival. Pride is not about paying 20 plus quid a ticket, seeing pop stars who aren’t even queer or local to our community, getting pissed up.
Pride is meant to be for our community. A free protest and event for everybody. Local queer performers. Local queer artists. A supportive environment for every queer person; not just for the cis gays.
They generated £2.7 million yet can’t pay their debts?
Some deep dives required into financial matters methinks.
What is stopping Manchester’s LGBTIQA+ community just deciding to hold pride but without paying all the costs?
Anyone with the connections can organise a march
Considering the price of the tickets where is all the money going?
For everyone saying they were trying to make money out of Pride. Like many events round the world, they used the money for security and clean up, and in the past have made community donations to LGBT charities. This is not commercial profit venture.
