Trans Pride Manchester has condemned the liquidation of Manchester Pride. Manchester Pride, which celebrated its 40th anniversary this year, announced on Tuesday, October 22, that it had entered liquidation, citing financial struggles and payment delays to suppliers and artists. In response, Trans Pride Manchester issued a statement. "Manchester's LGBTQIA+ community deserves better," they said via Instagram. "We deserve Pride that is accountable to the people who built it, not to sponsors, not to shareholders, but to us." With an attendance of over 8,000 this year, Trans Pride Manchester is now claiming the title of the city's biggest Pride event. "The end of Manchester Pride is by no means the end of Pride in Manchester” #ManchesterPride #LGBTQPride #Pride #LGBTQNews
