photoHiya - I`m 34 and based in Mid Cheshire halfway between Manchester and Chester. I am told I am a nice guy, & believe I measure up on that score:) Not really a big scene person - (out since I was 15 - so hit it big style then, but I do still drop in to say hiya :) - plus life`s far to interesting to be propping up bars in the big city!

Please read the following: http://www.g7uk.com/photo-video-blog/20071014-12-of-manchester-pride-income-went-to-good-causes-in-2007.shtml

As far as I am concerned there is something decidedly wrong with all of this. And with Manchester Pride as a separate charitable enterprise - why is the Lesbian and Gay Foundation the major beneficiary and in charge of giving out what pittance is left, to others.

I am amazed.

I understand there are costs to be incurred - but this smacks of blatantly taking the goodwill of people and ripping it to shreds. Just ten pence in the pound given to charity over the whole ten days of pride. How disgraceful.

*awaits a barrage of red crosses for not truly supporting gay fundraising*

Sadly I think many of the gays who goto Pride events are more concerned about getting off their tit's and getting fucked than where the money they spend actually goes.

some of those who go do care as to what the money raised is spent on.
others ..me included were angered by the way the stewards were treating folk walking round, demanding to see the wrist bands, treating those who went with contempt , passing snide comments and making limp wrist jibes ....most of the pride events ive been to up and down the country have been free...why is manchester the exception?
