I had a vague recollection of them planning one before, and a quick search tells me it was cancelled, due to pressure. Not sure what pressure, or how, and why they are now planning another.
I know they are contentious and I can't square the circle of why promoting difference and acceptance can only be done by drag queens. Also who pays for them?

@Angryresister I skim watched it. Wasn’t overly impressed by the quality of the storytelling and still feel there would have been much better qualified people out there.

I have escalated my complaint

Brilliant- it would be very interesting to find out why they are so invested in this particular type of performance. I wonder what the attendance figures were like and how many children actually watched it.

" Leeds is of course where Jimmy saVile was allowed to operate with impunity of course."

Let's not forget its connection to Peter Sutcliffe. Dark heart indeed.
