This year's Isle of Pride won't tolerate hate.
Those are the words of Isle of Pride Chair Clare Barber, ahead of this year's event on August 13 at the Villa Marina Gardens.
2022 will see the Island's second pride festival - with plans including a parade, family tent, youth pride and a queer cinema.
While the MHK commented this year will ‘bigger and better’ than the last, she added it provides an opportunity to celebrate a landmark in Manx legislation.
2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexual acts in the Isle of Man.
While speaking to Clare she said although pride is an event of celebration, it won't tolerate hate:
