Dr Augustine Tanner-Ihm says he can be 'proud and glorious' as Pride returns to the city.
By Molly Brewer & Lauren HirstThe streets of Manchester have been adorned in rainbow decorations as Pride celebrations return to the city.
In celebration, three people, from the North West of England, have opened up about the importance of Pride and why it means so much to them. "Experiencing racism or experiencing homophobia or experiencing xenophobia, I've experienced it all," he said."And there's something about the Pride community, the queer community here in Manchester, that makes it so much different than anywhere around the world."David Taylor said the Pride celebrations were "one of the biggest events in the year"
Mr Taylor, who started a Scottish country dancing group in Manchester called the Gay Gordons, said he knew he was gay from around the age of 15."We would go to bars then be asked not to come back."Things have changed dramatically. People can come out a lot more easier now.
