"It's about remembering there are still things that we need to fight for" - We ask this year’s festival-goers what Pride means to them
28.08.2022 - 19:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Pride means different things to different people. To some it’s a celebration, a safe place where they can be themselves. For others, it’s a protest, and a chance to have their voices heard louder than ever.
In the heart of the village at this year’s event, the M.E.N asked ‘what does Pride mean to you?’
Lee
“I work around the corner at The Goose six nights a week, kind of looking after the Village on a regular basis. But this is the first Pride I’ve ever done. It’s a fantastic atmosphere, and beautiful people. Even as a straight male, I love the fact that everyone can be themselves, embrace who they want to be. I’ve learned things too. Pronouns, he, her, they, them. I’ve had to learn this. Everyone’s so lovely, they educate you, so you know how to show the right level of respect. One of my best friends in the world was struggling with coming out. Bit of an alpha lad, suicidal at one point. Two years later, he’s engaged to most lovely guy in the world, I’m going to be best man at their wedding.”

I’m not a massive party animal, so I find the quieter things that are going on, the talks and things, they’re always really valuable for me. Pride for me is about hearing those authentic voices and stories. That’s the true essence of Pride.”
