Community Session: Kink at Pride

Date: 21st November

Location: The Proud Place

Cost: Free

Join like minded individuals as Manchester Pride brings together a diverse group of people to learn, discuss, celebrate and share resources.

Manchester Pride’s Community Sessions aim to platform issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community by bringing together professionals, those with lived experience and members of the community to learn, discuss, share resources and celebrate the diverse LGBTQ+ community that makes Manchester a brilliant place to live.

This month, we will dive deep into a topic that's often misunderstood and marginalised within the LGBTQ+ community – Kink at Pride.

We will be discussing what has become 'allowed' at Pride, and how palatable a group has to be to cisgender/heteronormative society to be seen as acceptable at a Pride event.

Doors open at 6pm, and the event takes place from 6:30pm-8pm.
Community Sessions are open to all LGBTQ+ people and allies.
