Londoners launch last ditch £66K fight to save World Pride

LGBT campaigners in London call on Mayor Boris Johnson to intervene and help them save World Pride

Gay activists are begging London Mayor Boris Johnson to save World Pride which was massively scaled back in a cash crisis this week.

The LGBT campaigners say £66,000 would help them restore floats to the gay pride parade which was slashed to being just a ‘march’ with walking groups only.

Pride London bosses also cancelled a massive street party in the British capital’s LGBT district of Soho this week and cut down the World Pride rally in Trafalgar Square.
