At the terminate of 2019, I came to Manchester to explore. At that age, I didn’t know how to love myself and consent myself as an Queer person. I still recall when I first arrived in Manchester it was Manchester Pride. The whole city was in rainbow, and most of the people walking down the street were smiling, and looking positive. Deep down in my heart, I wanted to join Identity festival, but I was too shy and didn’t comprehend how to release my inner self.

We are proud of those who continue to stand up to what's right, even under the most oppressive of regimes and governments.
We are not proud of corporate adaptation of the gender non-conforming flag for capitalist purposes, and even less haughty of 'queer washing' their agenda while not upholding any real change behind the consumer-facing scenes.
This Pride month, we must celebrate the progress whil
