WAKE UP BABE, THE GAY VILLAGE PARTY 2024 LINE-UP JUST DROPPED 🪩🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
We are SO PROUD to present an unforgettable line-up of LGBTQ+ performers and global icons in celebration of queer life and love at the Gay Village Party, right here in Manchester’s world-famous Gay Village!! 🎊…
On this day in 1988 over 20,000 people marched through Manchester to protest the introduction of Section 28. It was one of the UK’s largest LGBTQ+ demonstrations ever and placed the city at the forefront of promoting the rights of LGBTQ+ people in the UK.

The Gay Village Party is a bold celebration of queerness and LGBTQ+ talent, with the community at the forefront and heart of our programming. We’re DELIGHTED that our line-up showcases such an impressive calibre of diverse, exclusively LGBTQ+ artists 🌈🎉
Tonight, we remember the 49 members of our community who lost their lives at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida in 2016.
Our thoughts are with their families and friends, those who survived and everybody else who was affected by the events of that night ❤️
Every year we close out Manchester Pride Festival with the Candlelit Vigil, and this year will be no different.
Join us at 9pm tonight on for a one hour show. We will remember those we have lost to HIV and Covid-19 in a powerful way.

The Government announced they will commit to a ban of 'conversion therapy' but not for trans people.
This is totally unacceptable and an act of transphobic violence.
Everyone deserves the same protection from this cruel and dangerous practice.

Botswana just decriminalised homosexuality!! 🏳️🌈
The anti-LGBT+ laws were introduced by Britain during the colonial era, and ALL of the judges ruling on the landmark case agreed that the laws were discriminatory.
Amazing amazing news ❤️
This week we'll be celebrating Manchester and all of the times it has shown it's pride! Without the city's rich history in LGBT+ activism, Manchester Pride Festival wouldn't be what it is today ✨
