Image from WikipediaBrighton Pride is failing the gay community says the ex chair.
The former chair of Brighton Pride has said that the festival needs a “radical” overhaul.
David Harvey, who ran the event between 2003 and 2006, said Brighton Pride was too straight, that LGBT people did not feel safe there and and that trustees could be breaching Charity Commission rules by “running a party disguised as a charity”.
Mr Harvey managed to attain charitable status for the festival in 2004 but says that the current management of the event means it is failing.
In an open letter and speaking to PinkNews.co.uk, he claimed that Pride should be commercialised to allow it to start supporting community activities again and said he and Brighton Liberal Democrat leader Paul Elgood would be writing to the Charity Commission to raise concerns.
