Despite the vandalism, Clonezone has issued a statement defying the damage. It said: “Our Manchester store has always been special. There's something so unique and alive about the queer area in Manchester, and I love visiting from London.
“Windows can be broken but the LGBTQIA+ community cannot. We are stronger together, which is more important than ever now, with attacks on LGBTIA+ rights worldwide.
“A massive thankyou for the well wishes and comments after Wednesday, the team is fine and we're open as normal. [In] January 2024, we celebrate 40 years of being loud, proud, and unapologetically queer on Manchester's queer scene and have no intention of being anything other than that.”
