REFORM council refuses to fund Gay Pride March!

Ah yes, the age-old cry of the proudly unbothered:

“Why do they need a parade to tell everyone how gay it is?!”

Why stop there? Let’s march for Black Lives Matter. Red Frog Day. Green Frog Day. Ginger Hair Appreciation Week. And hey, why not turn the whole thing into one big, glittery carnival of causes. 🙄

Apparently, funding Pride is just another waste of public money—money that, let’s be honest, could definitely be better spent on the declining hedgehog population. Because before you know it, they’ll be marching too—and things might get a bit prickly. 🦔🌈

Spoiler alert: the real waste is pretending these marches don’t mean anything. It’s not about not caring—everyone loves a gay friend these days. In fact, you should keep at least one around—just to stop dressing like a tax return. 👔✨

🧻 “We’re All Equal Now, Just Stop Talking About It” 🎈

Let’s set the scene. The council won’t fund food festivals, dog shows, or that medieval reenactment where Barry from HR dresses up as a plague victim—but the second someone raises a rainbow flag, it’s suddenly a matter of national finance.

“Don’t these gays have jobs?” they ask.

“Should taxpayers really be paying for gay marches?” 💷🚫

And since it is not illegal to be gay anymore, surely now it’s time for them to bake some fairy cakes, do a whip-round, and fund the Pride march for themselves, right?

But here’s a thought: if a few fairy cakes are the biggest threat to your worldview, maybe the problem isn’t Pride. This is about forcing “wokeness” down everyone’s throat—but we need the next generation to stand up take responsibility for their own fairy cakes. 

Yes, funding should be done sensibly. If your idea of “money well spent” includes food banks, libraries, and pothole repair, then your issue isn’t fiscal. It’s a necessity . 🧠💥

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a rainbow crossing, this one’s for you.

What really threatens tradition—one group failing to realise that their issue is not the only one.
