Pride too commercial
1997
“I don’t go to Pride, it’s too expensive and I can’t afford it. It’s free to go but a drink costs £4. I went to the first Birmingham Pride in 1997 and it was great. It’s not a social event anymore it’s a business and I don’t like that, its too commercialised. I would like to see drinks at a reasonable price instead of everyone making a kill out of us. I regularly march for HGL and previously BOSS though.”
