Business in the Community Thursday 16 February 2012 The links between business and the community were essential for the first gay rights campaigns. In the early days it was gay owned businesses that supported pride marches. But this has changed, with major pride events now so expensive that mainstream support is essential. Come along and talk to like-minded entrepreneurs, and find out how businesses and LGBT-focused organisations are working together. VIP bands available for The Shadow Lounge afterwards. Admission: |
