According to the Sunday Times, Western Australia's PrideWA, organisers of WA's gay pride parade and Queer film festival, are struggling to attract sponsors or cover the costs of staging the event.
Charles Denham, event organiser of PrideWA, blame social acceptance of gays and sam-sex relationships for the lack of interest in the pride parade. "With a lot more acceptance, we're not so special any more," he said. "We don't have the pull that we used to and I think that affects it."
V energy drinks (which sponsored the event in previous years) didn't want to return, nor did Coca-Cola want to sponsor the event.
PrideWA will hold a public forum in February to get feedback on what people would like to see at Pride events in Perth.
Last time I buy Coke-Zero, eh?
