SIR – I, no doubt among many others, was delighted to see the cancellation of the Gay Pride Festival which is quite abhorrent to a city such as Worcester.
When one considers the original meaning of the word gay, it is demeaned by its recent association with homosexuals and to follow it with the word pride is even more demeaning to the English language.
I was also sorry to see that the editorial comment came out in support of this event as I feel that if there were to be a referendum of Worcester people there would be a resounding “no” to a possible resurrection of this distasteful event.
