Lauren from the Preston Pride Committee and Elder Emo UK told Blog Preston: “Last year’s feedback asked for more events so we have listened to the community and done just that. Expanding LGBTQ+ events in the local community adds to the message of what we need internationally!
“In a current climate where issues that should no longer be an issue are – we’re not only making our Preston talent the stars, but allowing the queer community and its allies a chance to shine too – united in a safe and collective space, so please join us and show your support.”
