Brighton Pride Needs Overhaul?

One of the regular criticisms to come out of the queer movement is to target pride events.

David is correct in his article.
Brighton Pride was set up as a charity to raise funds for other local charities, such as Mind Out, Stitchboard, Lunch Positive etc.
For the past two years Pride has failed to do this, thus breached its charitable status.

Pride the charity has also lost the trust of the local LGBT business community who will also no longer work with the organisation that exists.
