Bollyvvitch performs on stage, a disco ball above her and lens flares cascading across the photograph. She wears a black dress and horns, and pink body belt. Her hair is in pigtails, flowing wildly. Her arms are raised above her head, mid performance.

With the news of Manchester Pride, I think this is a good time to remind everyone that Pride belongs to us all, and that is the core of what Pride should be.
Most people know that my relationship with Manchester Pride has not been the best over recent years, and I stand in solidarity with the artists that have graced the stage who are yet to be paid.
From the decision Pride has made, it's looking like it's going to be even more difficult to receive remuneration for the work they put in this year.

Manchester Pride has had a lot of issues over the years, some even I've taken a stand against, but it's important to remember that Manchester Pride is a Pride event...not Pride itself.
Pride is ours. It belongs to all of us. Pride is celebrated in many forms in Manchester. From grassroots events, to community gatherings and protest marches.
Open your eyes to the true message of Pride and let's build something stronger. Together.
Let's build something stronger. Together 🏳️🌈 #ManchesterPride
