💨 Abstract

Manchester Pride, a major LGBTQ+ charity, has gone bust, leaving artists, suppliers, and freelancers unpaid. Among them is Tequila Thirst, a drag queen owed £200 for a performance, and Abbie Ashall, a freelance event manager owed £2,000. The charity cited slumping ticket sales, rising costs, and a failed Euro Pride bid as reasons for its collapse.
