We’re reaching out to local LGBT charities to see how we can support fundraising with the collapse of Pride.

For our community, it’s more than a ribbon.

It’s remembering everyone lost to HIV. It’s a promise to support people living with HIV. It’s a pledge to end new cases of HIV by 2030. It’s a stand against HIV stigma.

Donate now.

As it’s coming to the end of #TransgenderAwarenessWeek it seems a good time to restate that we support our trans siblings.

In 2021 we had 1500 people in the streets of Manchester shouting trans rights are human rights.

Same for the protest in 2026. 🏳️‍⚧️

We have a notice in with the police about a protest for August bank holiday weekend 2026 to replace the parade that Manchester Pride held.

A protest for lgbt+ rights in the UK and around the world.

Following discussions with them we’ll be able to give details here.

The EHRC has sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.

The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

Have you gotten vaccinated for mpox?

If you're eligible for the vaccine, remember you can get the vaccine for free at your local sexual health clinic.

Full details on our website.

51% of people leave a sexual health appointment without having an HIV test.

Our Chief Executive Richard Angell spoke at the House of Commons' Women and Equalities Committee recently.

He shared how the pressure being put on sexual health services is impacting what the services are able to provide.

We got you!
Oh wow who could have guessed that the corporate Manchester Pride would have collapsed under the weight of it's own hubris - maybe we can have more pride events there that don't lock off the whole of the gay village behind exorbitant pricing....

Community events always have our backs though
October 23, 2025 at 3:47 PM
We did it in 2021 and others have organised protests as well. The community is very capable of organising a pride protest without Manchester Pride and without corporate sponsors.

We’ll need your help and support for a massive turnout in 2026!

Reckless spending, gambling on major events and dozens of irate artists and suppliers waiting to be paid. @manchestermill.bsky.social has the inside story of what’s gone wrong at Manchester Pride.

Maybe now Manchester Pride can go back to being a celebration of queerness and not a three-day music festival in a car park
October 22, 2025 at 4:12 PM
It’s almost like the entire community warned them 🤷‍♂️
When we say that pride events must go back to their roots and serve the community first and foremost, not prioritise hetero pop stars from the 90s and groups of straight girls on a jolly; The Manchester Pride debacle is a prime example.
Amateurs...

It always ends up this way when organisers get too big for their boots and Pride starts to be a professional music festival with some gays stuck on the end.

Hopefully the bars will do their own thing next year and it'll be all the better for it.

Thoughts, @jasonreiduk.bsky.social ?

Oh hi!
We’re here as well now as that other social media place got nasty 😬

We are working to regroup and be back for 2026. News to follow over the coming weeks. The community is taking back the parade from Manchester Pride and it will be a protest.

Please follow and share here too!
