Comments on: Manchester Pride to celebrate 18th birthday http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-8677.html/ PinkNews.co.uk Gay News (UK and world) from Pink News - all the gay news for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community in the UK and beyond- thegaynews from Pink News Sat, 20 Mar 2010 14:23:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mindy http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-8677.html/comment-page-1/#comment-34077 Mindy Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:38:49 +0000 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?p=8677#comment-34077 Yeah gay pride is a good thing, but fraud is not. I just would like to give me sisters heads up and watch out for the scam at the Palace Hotel. It has a long and very controversial history. It is said that the dresses were made decades after Marilyn has left this earth. Why would they charge to look at some copies? I mean come on, I know some fabulous drags that have better costumes with more details to the real deal than those that are going to be on display. And I just found this story, it is shocking what is possible, all in the name of 'Gay Pride.' Even frauds, hoaxes and scams. My personal advise: skip that one. http://www.pr-inside.com/marilyn-monroe-william-travilla-costume-r607845.htm Yeah gay pride is a good thing, but fraud is not.

Even frauds, hoaxes and scams.

My personal advise: skip that one.

I understand it costs money to put on, and loads to put on if it's in a park or somewhere but it's a bit cheeky asking people to pay just to get into the gay village on the day. They used to raise money for charity, but I dont see any mention of that anymore. Has it become a lot more expensive to run, or is it making someone a nice income?

In the far southwest we have the problem that organisations like the 'intercom trust' & those running a so called 'diversity' pride as a voice piece for the local institutions (police & county Council) which have traditionally been homophobic, have made it quite clear gay men, gay women & gay youth equality campaigners are NOT welcome at a institutinal 'diversity' pride event. They are also busy re-writting & dismissing local LGBT history. Only in a primitive gay backwater like Cornwall could gay people let this happen. So well done Manchester Gay Pride for devoting so much to gay history! I'm pleased to see that Manchester gay pride is doing so much on LGBT his/herstory.
