Drag Queens Boycott Attleborough Pride Over Reform Party Organiser

More than ten drag queens have quit Attleborough Pride. They are now boycotting the event completely. This happened after new information came out about the organiser.

The Pride event is run by Daniel Burcham. He has organised the event for six years. Many people trusted him in the LGBTQ+ community. But things changed recently.

Burcham was elected as a Reform UK councillor in Norfolk County. Reform UK is a right-wing political party in Britain. The party has members who have made anti-LGBTQ+ statements in the past. This made many performers very uncomfortable.

Drag queens felt they could no longer support the event. They believe Pride should be a safe space. Having a Reform politician run the event felt wrong to them. They decided to leave and speak out publicly.

The drag performers shared their concerns online. They said they do not feel safe. They also said Pride events must be truly inclusive. They feel that Reform UK's values go against LGBTQ+ rights.

Attleborough is a small town in Norfolk, England. The Pride event was important to the local LGBTQ+ community. It was one of the few Pride events in the area. Now its future is uncertain.

Some people in the community are trying to find solutions. They want to keep Pride alive in Attleborough. But they also want to make sure all LGBTQ+ people feel welcome. This is a difficult balance right now.

Burcham has not yet made a full public statement. It is unclear if he will step down as organiser. The situation is still developing quickly.

This story reflects a bigger issue in the UK. Right-wing politics is growing in many local areas. LGBTQ+ communities are watching this closely. They want to protect their spaces and events. Pride events must remain places of safety and celebration for everyone.
