🎬 Film. 🌈 Pride. ✊ Solidarity. 5 Sept 2025 | Redhills, Durham 🎟 Tickets redhillsdurham.org/event/we-are... #DurhamEvents #DurhamPride #PrideTheMovie

So many wild claims about Durham Pride funding recently. Instead of folk at DCC announcing they're defunding Pride to attempt to look like superstars to their supporters, let's praise the actual work of Durham Pride & ensure they're supported to continue. After all this is more than just an event.
